How to Make Peanut Butter Tandy Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12x15-inch baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately spread with ½ cup creamy peanut butter.
  9. Let the cake cool completely on the baking sheet.
  10. Prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, beat together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Frost the cooled cake with the peanut butter icing.
