Ingredients 

  • 1 ½ cups 221 g flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ cup 113 g creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup 220 g sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups 320 ml whole milk
  • 1-14 oz can 296 g sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup 240 ml half and half
  • 1 ½ cups 360 ml heavy whipping cream

Instructions 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line the bottom of a nine inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • 2. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt.
  • 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter and sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  • 4. Decrease speed to low, and add eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla extract.
  • 5. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • 6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 7. Remove cake from oven, and let cool completely in the pan.
  • 8. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, poke holes all over the cooled cake. The more holes, the better! Place the cake pan on a larger deep platter to avoid any messes!
  • 9. Combine the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half and half in a large glass measuring cup. Gently pour the milk mixture over the top of the cake. It may look like a lot of liquid, but the cake will soak it all up. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • 10. Add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl and beat with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cake
  • 11. Refrigerate cake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
