A totally scrumptious frosting that was perfectly creamy and just the right amount of peanut buttery goodness! (We loved it on chocolate cupcakes.) This makes a LOT of frosting, I managed to generously frost 4 dozen cupcakes with this one recipe, so it would make enough to easily frost a 2 layer 9-inch cake. Keep that in mind as you may need to cut it in half for frosting a 9x13 cake. Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Frosting
1/2 cup butter, softened/room temp.
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup heavy cream***
In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in 1/2 of the powdered sugar. Mix in the vanilla and 1/4 cup of the cream. Beat in the remaining powdered sugar. If needed, add a little more cream or milk until the frosting reaches desired spreading consistency.
***Instead of cream you can use regular milk or evaporated milk with the same delicious results.
Makes enough to frost one 2 layer 9-inch cake or 4 dozen cupcakes.
