SUPER BOWL DESSERT!!! Perfect for the dessert table Sunday. I was needing one more recipe other than the pecan pie bars and oatmeal cookies and Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownies and here it is. Love love love the flavor of peanut butter and chocolate.
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 teas baking soda
1/2 teas salt
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa
3 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teas vanilla
Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk (add gradually as it might not require the whole 1/2 cup)
1 teas vanilla
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13×9″ baking pan. In large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
In a small saucepan, combine water, butter, peanut butter and cocoa; bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer to prepared baking pan. Bake 25-30 min or until cake tests done.
Prepare frosting while cake is baking. In a large bowl, beat the powdered sugar, butter, peanut butter, milk and vanilla until smooth. Remove cake from oven when done and place on wire rack. Immediately spread with frosting; sprinkle peanuts over top if desired. Cool completely and cut into squares.
