Peanut Butter Lovers Cake (Amish)
<http://www.oasisnewsfeatures.com/peanut-butter-lovers-cake/>
This recipe comes to me from the Mennonite settlement outside of Jessup,
Georgia in the heart of peanut country. Sounds amazingly delicious...I
would like to try this but have not had a chance yet. If anyone beats me
to it and tries it, please share with us how it turns out! (photos are
great, too!). The Mennonite woman who shared it with me said she came up
with the recipe as a way to incorporate locally grown peanut products,
and that the cake is a prize-winner (she didn't say what prize) and it
is also her daughter's favorite cake for birthdays.
3 /4 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
5 eggs, separated
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 /3 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
Heat oven to 350 Grease and flour 3 9-inch cake pans. Separate eggs
(room temperature). Whip whites until stiff, set aside. Cream shortening
and sugar. Add butter, egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix well. Sift flour,
soda, and salt and add alternately with buttermilk. Fold egg whites into
the batter. Divide into 3 pans. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 or until a
toothpick comes out clean. Frost with this peanut butter icing:
3 1 /2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter
3 /4 cup shortening

thoroughly combined and spreadable. Spread between layers and on top and
sides. Sprinkle with peanuts.
