This cake makes men drool and women fight over the last piece! I think it's the peanut butter in the icing! Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 cup water |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 cups white sugar |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup margarine |
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
5 tablespoons milk |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 cup crunchy peanut butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
2. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup margarine, oil, 4 tablespoons cocoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring often. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour and sugar. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cocoa mixture. Stir until smooth. Mix in the buttermilk, 2 teaspoons vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda and eggs.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before frosting.
5. For the Frosting: In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup margarine, 4 tablespoons cocoa and 5 tablespoons milk. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat until the icing is blended. Pour over warm cake.
