Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
- 5 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup milk (whole or low fat)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a large tube or bundt pan (don’t fill the pan more than 3/4 full to prevent overflow). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter on medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually alternate between adding the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60–70 minutes, checking with a toothpick at the 60-minute mark. Continue checking every 5 minutes to avoid overbaking. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or frost as desired before serving.
Notes
- This recipe makes a large cake. For smaller cakes, use loaf pans or mini bundt pans, adjusting the baking time accordingly.
- Don’t overfill the pan—only fill it about 3/4 full to prevent overflow during baking.
