For an even richer flavor, use natural peanut butter (the kind you have to stir) but make sure it's well-combined before measuring. Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry. Start checking for doneness around 25 minutes. If your frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Feel free to add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top of the frosted cake for added texture and visual appeal.

Sep 28, 2023I found the frosting a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of confectioners' sugar by 1/2 cup. It was perfect!
