Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before frosting.
  8. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly add the heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining layers. Cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting and decorate as desired.

Notes

Use Room-Temperature Ingredients:Ensure your butter, eggs, and buttermilk are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
Don’t Overmix:Overmixing can make the cake dense. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Adjust Frosting Consistency:If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more cream. If it’s too thin, add extra powdered sugar.
