Peanut Butter Cake:

We got this delicious recipe from a relative of ours. It's SO easy and very yummy!!! Pretty rich though, so don't cut it too big!!!

                                               
In a large saucepan, bring to boil:
1 stick (8 Tablespoons) butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup canola oil

Stir with a whisk until a rolling boil is reached. Remove from the heat and stir in:
2 cups flour
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix well until there are no lumps. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Right after you take the cake from the oven, start on the frosting.

1/3 cup milk
3/4 stick (6 Tablespoons) butter
1/2 cup peanut butter

Melt together in a small saucepan, whisking continually until a full boil is reached. Remove from the heat and add:
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 lb. (3 3/4 cups) powder sugar

Whisk until no lumps appear. Spread over cake. Let stand until cooled. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Note:
-I hope the way I wrote this recipe isn't too confusing!
-It's a Wagner Family "thing" that cake can not be eaten without being served in a bowl of milk. I don't personally care for it, but I am of a very small minority in this "thing"!!! It does help to cut down on the sweetness of it, though. So, do you like your cake with or without milk?
