Line bottoms with waxed paper; grease. Dust with flour; tap out excess. In
bowl, mix cake flour, baking powder, salt and allspice. Sift onto sheet of
waxedpaper.

In large bowl of electric mixer, at medium speed, beat butters until
smooth. Beat in sugars; beat 3 minutes or until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one
at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. At low speed,
beat in flour mixture (in fourths) alternately with milk (in thirds),
beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating just until blended.
Stir in One half cup chopped peanuts; spread into pans.

Bake cake layers 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center
of each comes out clean; cool in pans on racks 10 minutes. Invert onto
racks; remove pans and paper. Invert layers again; cool completely.
