Peanut Butter Frosting
For a delicious way to decorate any cake, especially this Southern Peanut Butter Cake, you must try this Peanut Butter Frosting recipe!
It is a classic buttercream recipe with the addition of peanut butter. It’s not complicated…just beat the peanut butter, butter and salt together. Add the confectioners’ sugar, a little vanilla and some milk and continue beating until it’s smooth and spreadable.
That’s all it takes. Not only is this buttercream amazing on cakes, try it on cupcakes, brownies or right off of a spoon!! My favorite way of eating it!
