Peanut butter is practically the only food I can eat every single day and not get tired of. I often start my day with a banana and a spoon full of peanut butter. I absolutely love the stuff.

Normally when it comes to desserts, I prefer peanut butter paired with chocolate. AKA the best thing ever.

But sometimes a pure peanut butter dessert is just what I’m craving.

With peanut butter in the cake batter and the icing, there’s plenty of peanut butter flavor in this peanut butter sheet cake.

It’s baked in a 10×15-inch pan and can easily be cut into 20 pieces so it is perfect for bringing to a summer potluck or picnic.

  1. Do I need to double the frosting recipe if I use a different filling for the middle of a 2 layer cake? Will it change the frosting if I use lactose and fat free milk?
