Dry Ingredients:
2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup of Sugar
2 teaspoons of baking soda
1/2 cup of unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Wet Ingredients:
1 Cup of Mayonaise
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the center and add all of the wet ingredients.
Mix well with a wire whisk until the batter is smooth.
Pour into the 9 x 13 baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Check by inserting a toothpick in the center.
If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
If not, bake another 5 to 10 minutes or until done.
For the icing:
Light And Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting:
1/2 cup of butter, room temperature
1 cup of Creamy Peanut Butter
2 cups of Confectioners Sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
5 tablespoons of heavy cream
(if you don't have heavy cream you can substitute milk)
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and
peanut butter until smooth.
Turn the mixer down to low and gradually add the powdered sugar
(otherwise, you'll be cleaning powdered sugar off the ceiling, walls,
your face...I think you get the picture).
Add the cream, on tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consisitency.
Beat at least 3 minutes until it is light and fluffy!
Make sure your cake is completely cooled before you frost it!
