Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this delicious journey! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your mixing bowls and cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is so important because it helps incorporate air into the batter, which leads to a lovely texture in your cake. Next, add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Don’t skimp on the mixing here; you want those flavors to meld beautifully! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
