Why I Love This Recipe
For the PB-holic in your house!
When my youngest turned 16 he asked for a peanut butter cake with white chocolate frosting with the utter confidence that I could make it happen. I was pleased to fill the bill!
Ingredients You'll Need

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

12 ounces white chocolate, chopped, melted, cooled to room temperature
1/2 cup whipping cream

Directions
for the cake:
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Coat two 9-inch baking pans with cooking spray and flour.
