Peanut butter is just one of those foods that brings us back to a place in our lives that we never want to forget, it’s nostalgic.
I remember growing up eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (or two) EVERY day for lunch, without fail!
And cookies, lets not forget about Peanut butter cookies! The smell of the fresh baked goodies coming out of the oven, oh heavenly!
But really, you could just grab a spoon and dig in to the jar, no one’s judging, at least I’m not because I’d be right there with you asking for the tub!
So naturally I had to somehow make a peanut butter cake, because, well… PEANUT BUTTER!
This cake is the perfect blend of cake and cookie! I mean other than PB&J what better combo could you ask for.
The cake has a beautiful dense crumb but still moist and FULL of peanut butter flavor.

This cake is amazing when paired with some classics like, raspberry jam, dark chocolate ganache, and even a peanut butter buttercream!
