Peanut Butter Picnic Cake image

From Kraft. I am have been making this recipe for years. It is one of our favorite cakes. It is NOT a light fluffy boxed mix cake. Slightly heavy but moist. I have always used homemade freezer strawberry jam

I've tried many peanut butter cakes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I think I might have overbaked it.
