Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until well combined.
  4. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.
