1 stick of unsalted Land O'Lakes butter
6 tablespoons of milk
1 (1 pound) package of powdered sugar
1/2 cup overflowing of Jif creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Heat butter and milk together on stovetop. Bring to a boil in a heavy saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add in the peanut butter and powdered sugar stirring in well. Return to the stovetop and continue heating, stirring constantly until the mixtures is smooth and glossy. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and pour immediately as evenly as possible all over the top of the hot cake. This will set quickly so push the icing into the corners and over missed spots very carefully and quickly. Let cool.
Eat far too many slices because you cannot possibly help yourself. Fall asleep in your recliner all fat and happy and know that life is definitely good.
This recipe works awesomely perfect with the 1-2-3-4 basic yellow cake!
