Sally’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla, and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Batter will be thin.

Pour into a greased and floured 13″x9″ pan and bake 35-40 minutes (or use two 9″ round pans and bake for 30-35 minutes for a layer cake).

For the frosting:
Put the butter into a large microwave safe bowl. Melt butter in the microwave, heating for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Then stir in peanut butter until well combined.

Stir in vanilla and salt. Alternately beat in powdered sugar and milk with an electric mixer, and taste when it begins to get thick and a spreadable consistency. Add up to 3 cups of powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter frosting.

Spread frosting onto cooled cake and serve.
