I used Smucker's Natural peanut butter and I didn't have a bundt pan, so I thought I'd just make a 9-inch, 2-layer cake. Well, I filled those pans to the brim (hoping that pound cake wouldn't rise very much) and had enough more for 5 cupcakes. I almost overflowed the cake pans. LOL. I think less there and 12 cupcakes would have been better. But I trimmed off the extra (which was really good dipped in Recipe #89207) and had a cute little cake. There was only enough (peanut butter) frosting to coat the tops of the layers, which was okay. I sprinkled some dry-roasted peanuts on top for decoration. I got many compliments on the cake!

I made these into cupcakes as well today with great results. This recipe produces a perfect peanut buttery cake that is extremly tasty. I baked these for about 10 minutes since I made them in mini muffins pans. This made the perfect bit sized treat for me! I topped them with a mixture of the frosting posted here and a chocolate butter cream on the others for those who did not want such an intense peanutty cake.

I followed the recipe and the instructions it cooked on the outside but not in the inside and it was after about 45 minutes so I cut it down to 325 degrees after about 15 minutes it started burning so I wasted good butter, vanilla, and peanut butter So Don't Try This Recipe.
