Peanut Butter Cake Icing

For dessert last Wednesday night, I made a variety of cakes:

  • Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
  • Coconut Cake
  • Texas Coconut Pecan Cake
  • Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Icing
  • Texas Sheet Cake
  • Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting


The first one to be eaten was the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Have you ever made peanut butter icing? It's easy. There's a recipe in the red and white plaid Better Homes & Gardens cookbook, which I reference frequently, for buttercream icing. It has a few variations listed under it, and one of them is peanut butter. You simply substitute peanut butter for the butter or shortening in the recipe. Try it with your favorite buttercream icing recipe. It's very rich, but very very good. Be sure you have a tall glass of milk ready!

Tomorrow I'll share another cake recipe. Thanks for stopping by!
