Instructions
Making the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Stir in the peanut butter until completely incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pans.
Making the Fudge
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the cocoa powder and stir until combined.
Add the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir until combined. Add the peanut butter and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before spreading on top of the cake.
Assembling the Cake
Once the cake and fudge have cooled, spread the fudge on top of one of the cakes. Place the other cake on top and press down gently to secure.
Enjoy!
