Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost: Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting or serve plain with a dusting of powdered sugar.
