Don’t swear people. I know that it is Monday. Even better reason to share this rather decadent Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake with you, to brighten up your somber Monday blue mood. It is only a pleasure…
Mondays are definitely better with cake, and this Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake earns the top spot of indulgent baking recipes in my kitchen. I kinda also ate the whole thing by myself…
It is basically a vanilla peanut butter cake, layered with peanut butter frosting and taken to a new level by adding a mixed berry jam topped with fresh strawberries.
I have always loved a good peanut butter and jam sandwich. My international audience will know it as jelly. Go google it. It’s a match made in heaven.
Like? I thought so. I used my one bowl vanilla cake mix for this one, let me tell you, this cake is to die for. I had it in the fridge for about five days, and it is still the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. Monday schmunday, right? Have a good one!
