peanut butter sheet cake










I'm not ordinarily a huge fan of cake or peanut butter.  I don't dislike either one but I don't go out of my way to eat them very often.  This cake was definitely worth trying.  It's not like your typical cake.  It's dense, rich, sweet and buttery.  It made a huge sheet so we were able to share it with lots of friends which is a great thing about a sheet cake.

In a large bowl, mix together sugar, baking soda, flour and salt.
Combine butter, water and peanut butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Pour over flour mixture.
Add milk, vanilla and eggs to your other mixture and mix.
Pour batter onto greased large rimmed cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
