How to Make Peanut Butter Mousse Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 9-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the mousse: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the mousse evenly over the top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the mousse to set.
  10. Garnish with chocolate shavings or additional peanut butter if desired, and enjoy!
