Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in peanut butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with milk and water until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for about 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. For the frosting, beat salted butter until smooth; gradually mix in peanut butter and powdered sugar, adding water or milk to achieve preferred consistency.
  6. Once cakes are cooled completely, stack layers with frosting in between and cover the top and sides of the cake with remaining frosting.
