Peanut Butter Cake

Pretty much anyone and everyone who knows my mom, knows about and absolutely LOVES her peanut butter sheet cake, it is to DIE for! She makes it for every: open house, wedding, family reunion, chuch get together, you name it, she's probably made one for it. The most HILARIOUS part is, even after giving people the recipe, they find that for some reason, NO ONE, and I mean no one, can make it like my momma! But what's even better, this recipe came from my DAD's side of the family....AMAZING HUH? This one is for you mom! I LOVE YOU!


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix in a bowl:
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Bring to a Boil:
1 stick oleo
1 c. peanut butter (HEAPING, seriously.....momma uses a lot :P)
1 c. water

Pour mixture that you have boiled over dry ingredients. Add 1/2 c. buttermilk (1/2 soda and 1/2 c. milk=buttermilk). Add 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 eggs. Stir with a spoon. Pour into a greased baking sheet cake pan and bake for about 20 minutes in 350 degree oven (or until it can pass the toothpick test).

Frosting:

1 stick oleo
1/2 c. peanut butter (heaping again)
5 tbsp. milk
1 lb. or 4 c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla

Melt oleo, peanut butter and milk. Bring to a rapid boil and remove from stove. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. (you may need to add more powdered sugar; if it is too thin, or more milk if it is too thick) mom judges her frosting based on thickness and color :D...Spread frosting on hot cake, top with a handful of chocolate chips and warm in oven (to let the chips set in, so they dont fall off)...thats it!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!!!!! :D
