Double Peanut Butter Cake

So this time I tried a peanut butter cake. I like peanut butter but I am not a HUGE fan of it. I am open to new things so I thought what the heck, I'll try it and if it's good, it's good and if it's not I'll just give it to someone else who LOVES it.

Ingredients: (cake)
  • 1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Butter, Softened
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1-1/2 Cups all-purpose Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Milk

(Frosting):
  • 1/3 Cup Chunky Peanut Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 3 Cups Confectioners' Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 1-1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Directions:
In a bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Mix well. Pour into a greased 9 in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting, cream peanut butter and butter. Add sugar, milk and vanilla; mix until smooth. Frost cake. Yield: 9 servings.

I used vanilla flavoured soya milk which I thought was quite good. I also used 100% pure Vanilla extract which I actually made myself. Oh and I also had only crunchy peanut butter which was also 100% peanut butter instead of all that crap they put in the other peanut butter. Anyway as for how it all turned out, it was for me just OK. I liked it better after it was chilled and I also thought the frosting was a bit too sweet. For the sweet tooths out there that would be perfect for you ;-). My friends liked this more than I, to each it's own. So if you are a peanut butter lover, try this out! It is worth it!! 

P.s. Sorry if you are allergic to nuts ;-P Tune in another time haha.

Intro

Hello! :-) 
I wanted to start this blog so I can bake and write reviews about the recipes that can be found online. I love to bake and try new recipes to see how it would come out. I wish I can share all these amazing baked goods with you all, but unfortunately because I do not know where you all live, I will be giving my baked goods to all my friends and loved ones ( I for sure won't be eating all these sweet desserts all by myself, nu uh not happening!!). :-) Sorrrrrrrrrrrry!! You all will just have to drool over the pictures I give you, either from me or the site itself, and bake yourself ;-P. I will be mostly reviewing sweet things ( look at the site name ;) ) but I may post something unusual, depending on what I see and want to make. I don't know, we will play it by ear but mostly you will see baked goods.
Anyway keep checking in with me until I post my first baked review :-) 
Have a yummmmy day !!

P.S. You guys will be seeing some changes to my site until I feel like I've achieved where I want it to be. Sooo right now it is just meh... lol
