Ingredients for cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup water
¾ cup butter, softened
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Ingredients for Icing:
1 stick butter
½ cup peanut butter
6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 box confectioner’s sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10x15x1 inch jelly roll pan.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine the water and ¾ cups butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup peanut butter and vegetable oil until well blended.
4. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients. Combine the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla; stir into the peanut butter mixture until well blended. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

6. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. Bring the butter, peanut butter and milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the vanilla. Mix in the powder sugar. Mix well, beating with a handheld electric mixer for smoothest consistency.
7. Frost the cake while frosting is hot and the cake is warm.
