Hi, Kelli,
I made this cake last night. My frosting is light peanut butter colored, not off white like Lynn’s is. What color was your’s? I’m putting the cake together today. I want to make sure I didn’t mess up my frosting!
Thank you!

In reply to Lana Hay. Hi, Lana-- I think the photograph is just making it look that way. It should be the color of peanut butter, but lighter.

Lynn,
So far everything has turned out great! My question is, why is your frosting cream colored? Mine is still the color of peanut butter, only a little lighter!

Made this cake and peanut butter icing in cupcake form for my son’s 21st birthday! I used Skrewball peanut butter whiskey as the liquid for the icing and oh my goodness these cupcakes were amazing!!

In reply to Jess. Hi, Jess! I have never tested this recipe with butter, so I'm unsure of exactly how it might affect the crumb. If you want to test it out, I'd love to hear your results! It's possible that cornstarch or cake flour might make a difference, but I can't say for sure.

Hi! Love your cakes. Was wondering if I do sub out the oil with butter, should I add cornstarch or use cake flour instead of AP flour? Reading thru your blog description of the oil section makes me consider this. Thank you!

I made the peanut butter frosting tonight and it was perfect! Not too sweet, great texture, and so easy to do! YUM!

I made this cake for my daughter’s birthday. It was the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. The frosting is so good. It has a ton of flavor but isn’t too sweet. I received a ton of compliments. We will definitely be making this one again!
