I just made half a recipe to make 12 cupcakes for my grandkids. When I made the frosting I add 3T of cocoa (propably could have added 4T), and increased the milk a tablespoon at a time (sorry I lost count) till I had the consistancey I wanted. 3 out 4 grandkid loved it. Next time I make the cake I’m going to put the cocoa in the frosting again, I thought it was yummy. Thanks again for sharing

Just finished frosting and serving the cake to my grandgirls. They both like it a lot. Allison the older of the 2 drizzled chocolate syrup on top of her’s. The cake is everything I remember, moist and not a strong peanut butter flavor, the 8 inch pans were barly big enough, think I could have used 9 inch or 3-8 inch. The frosting is really good but I think if my memory serves me, the recipe I used…o’ so many years ago, was a cooked frosting not unlike the “7 Minute” frosting and not quite as sweet. A great cake..I was just thinking…what if you used strawberry preserves, between the layers? Too much…maybe, Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Oh yeah check my blog for a picture of your cake, feel feel to use it if you want.

I made a peanut butter layer cake when I was in high school (1963-67). I have been looking for that recipe for years. When I make the cake I remember my mother was suprized at how good it tasted and my 5 brothers devoured it in a day or so. I do hope this is it… I am going to make it for my grandkids very soon…maybe even tonight if I have enough powdered sugar…pretty sure I have every think else… I’ll get back with a review asap.

Good!! This is one of hubs favorites!
I googled the heck out of this trying to locate the old recipe on the Kraft site or anywhere, but no luck! I suppose it’s too old!
Seems like it was an ad for a Super Bowl party and of course the recipe called for Parkay margarine. I can see it in my head like it was yesterday! Sigh!
I hope it’s ok that I mentioned the brands.. Ah well!
Enjoy & thanks for your comment!

I love vintage recipes and I love peanut butter. I’m saving this one to try!
