Ingredients

Preparation Method

Prepare the Cake:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x18-inch sheet pan with non-stick spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth.
Pour the slightly cooled peanut butter mixture into the batter and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.

2. Prepare the Frosting:

In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, butter, and milk. Cook over medium heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking until the frosting is smooth and thick.
Pour the frosting over the cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

3. Finishing Touches:

Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before slicing the cake into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

Bonus Tip:

For an added layer of flavor and texture, consider sprinkling chopped roasted peanuts or a drizzle of chocolate sauce over the frosting before it sets. This will not only enhance the peanut butter experience but also add a delightful crunch and visual appeal to the cake. If you're a fan of sweet and salty combinations, a light sprinkle of sea salt over the top will elevate the flavors to a whole new level.
