By amberwherley

Ingredients

• 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla.

Step 4

Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 portions, alternating with 2 portions of sour cream. Mix just until combined.

Step 5

Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
