This recipe is a take on a recipe Zack's mom makes. It was pretty good if I do say so myself.
So the recipe is as follows:
Part 1
1 box yellow cake mix (chocolate works too - I used yellow though) - also note the time lengths to cook the cake on the box because that's what you'll use to bake this cake - for me it was 350 for 30 minutes.
1 cup peanut butter (I used chunky peanut butter which was my first amendment to this recipe)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I used 1/3 of a cup of splenda brown sugar instead)
Mix the ingredients together in the mixer until it has an almost pilly consistency, then take out 2/3 of a cup of the mixture.
Then to the remaining mix, add:
3 eggs
1/4 cup of oil
1 cup of water
It makes a pretty wet batter, akin to cake mix but a little thinner. Pour it into a greased 13x9 pan - preferably glass. Once all the mix is poured in, take the leftover 2/3 cup of crumb mix and add to it chocolate chips. You're supposed to add nuts too, but since I used the chunky peanut butter I went without the nuts on top. I WAS thinking though as I was making this, all the delicious things you could put on top of it. Kind of like when I was making the gooey butter cake. I also think this lends credence to my idea of a peanut butter and jelly cake that's worthwhile. I know you're out there cake!
Anyway, throw any ingredients you want on top of the cake that would add to the deliciousness of the peanut butter, maybe some banana or apple? cinnamon? The ideas could go on forever. Also when in doubt of what to put on top, chocolate icing would be equally as glorious!
Anyway this was a thoroughly enjoyable cake but milk is most definitely necessary!
