Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Optional

  • 1 cup M&M’s candies (reserve a few for decoration)
  • Butter for greasing pans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pans to prevent sticking and ensure easy release.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the peanut butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Fold in M&M’s: Gently fold in most of the M&M’s candies, saving a few for decorating the top before baking.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting or assembling.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
  • Bring eggs and milk to room temperature for better mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Add M&M’s last to prevent them from melting or bleeding color.
  • Use a toothpick test to check doneness and avoid under or overbaking.
