Shortcut Peanut Butter Cake- A moist peanut butter cake made with a shortcut!
Ingredients
- Cake mix
- Eggs
- Milk
- Peanut butter
- Sour cream
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!
