Shortcut Peanut Butter Cake- Recipes My Mom Gave Me

Recipe Notes

  • As long as you use a standard size box of dry cake (15-18 oz), you can use any brand. Yellow, white or butter flavor will work best.
  • Sour Cream: Plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • Peanut Butter: I recommend using a "regular" peanut butter for this cake, as opposed to the "natural" version.  The natural version is delicious, but, does have a bit more oil than regular peanut butter.  This could throw off the consistency of your cake.  Now, you can use natural peanut butter, no problem! However, you should add in a tablespoon (or 2) of flour to absorb the extra oil.
  • Frosting:  I used a standard chocolate buttercream with ours.  This cake will also work with a vanilla frosting, peanut butter or just a dusting of powdered sugar. Homemade or store bought!

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed cake mix,peanut butter, milk, sour cream and eggs. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until completely smooth and well blended.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Move the pan to a wire rack to cool slightly.  Let the cake cool completely before adding desired frosting.
