Peanut Butter Cake

If you want this to be a thin cake, you can make it in a jelly roll pan. Or you can bake it thicker and put it in a 13x9. I usually do the 13x9, but it will do fine in a jelly roll pan to serve more people...

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a saucepan, bring to boil the butter or margarine, peanut butter and water. when it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and mix well. Pour the hot mixture over the dry ingredients, mix well. Add buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well and pour into greased pan. Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes for the jelly roll pan, check for doneness after about 25 to 30 minutes in the 13x9 pan. While the cake is still warm, spread with the frosting, as follows... Bring the water, butter or margarine and peanut butter to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the vanilla, then sift in the powdered sugar. Beat well. Add chopped peanuts if desired, and add a bit of warm water (by the drop or two) if frosting is too stiff to spread. Yummy
