Preparation

Step 1

Prepare cake as directed on the back of the box. Then let it cool completely.

Once cake has cooled, begin making frosting. In a mixing bowl, combine butter and peanut butter.

Mix until well combined. Those of you using a stand mixer, make sure you scrape down the sides of your bowl occasionally.

Add in powdered sugar and mix until combined.

Then add in milk and vanilla extract. Mix again until combined.

Then start frosting your cake. This frosting is so fluffy and creamy.
Just be gentle when frosting the cake. Try not to yank it across your moist cake. Be soft handed and lightly spread.

Then slice up and serve. This works well as cupcakes too!

I think it's fun to top the slices off with these Reese's minis if you can find them. If you are taking this to a potluck, this will clue folks in as to what kind of cake this is.
