How to Make Philly Tandy Takes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 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 into the prepared jelly roll pan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is still warm, spread a generous layer of your favorite creamy peanut butter over the top. (About 1 ½ cups).
  9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the peanut butter to set.
  10. Melt 8 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate baking squares in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  11. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the chilled peanut butter layer.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
