Recipe - Reeses Peanut Butter Cake

Three fourths cup Unsalted butter
Three fourths cup Creamy peanut butter
2 cup Brown sugar; packed
3 Eggs
2 cup Unsifted allpurpose flour
1 tablespoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Peanut Butter Filling; see
recipe
Chocolate Glaze; see recipe

PEANUT BUTTER FILLING
1 cup Cream cheese; softened
One half cup Creamy peanut butter

CHOCOLATE GLAZE
One half cup Water
4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
One half cup Cocoa; sifted
1 cup Powdered sugar; unsifted
1 teaspoon Vanilla

In large mixing bowl, cream butter and peanut butter until light and
fluffy. Add brown sugar. Mix to blend. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well
after each addition.
In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to
butter and peanut butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and
ending with flour mixture. Add vanilla.
Pour batter into 2 wellgreased and floured 9 inch cake pans. Bake in
preheated 350 degree oven until cake tests done, about 45 minutes. Cool on
wire rack to room temperature before frosting the cake. Spread half of
Peanut Butter Filling over tops of each cake, using metal spatula dipped in
hot water. Spread glaze over cake while glaze is warm. As glaze cools, it
will thicken.
PEANUT BUTTER FILLING: Cream ingredients together until light and fluffy.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE: Place water and butter in small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Add cocoa, sugar and vanilla to water mixture. Mix until smooth.
CHEF'S NOTE: This recipe will make either two 9inch cakes or one stacked
layer cake. If making the stacked layer cake, the Peanut Butter Filling
should be put between the layers and on top of the cake before topping it
with the Chocolate Glaze.
(There was no information on how many servings this recipe will make.)
