Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)
– 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for crunch)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Whisk or electric mixer
– Spatula
– 9-inch square baking pan
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. I love starting with the creamy peanut butter as it gives the base of the cake a smooth richness. Mix everything together until it’s light and fluffy. The smell is simply divine!
