    This was just a little bit dry compared to the other cakes I’ve made from this book. We found the peanut butter to be the dominant flavor by far. Still, a very good cake that came together quickly.

    Cake was delicious but a bit dry. Take it out of the oven a few minutes early. Mild peanut butter taste but different from the usual and we loved it. ?Frosting should be cooked to 230* (soft ball) for best texture.

    Lovely light crumb to the cake. Icing was less fluffy than the pic in the book but tasted good. Came together easily.

    Tastes like a peanut butter cookie in cake form! Baked for 35 minutes in a 9x9. Edges were *done* so probably could have gone for even a little less. We’re not much of a frosting family so I skipped it. Made it mostly as a treat for the kiddos & they really enjoyed it!

    This was so good! I used fleur de sel on top. The cake and frosting came out perfect

    As with all the cakes I've baked from this book, the cake was quick to assemble and I loved that. I overbaked it at 35 minutes. The frosting did not, to me, look like the fluffy frosting in the picture and it was gritty as Zosia says... I would try it again, watching the bake time more closely, and maybe with a different frosting.

    Delightful and quick cake. I pulled it out of the oven at 30 minutes, which was plenty of time for it to bake fully. The penuche frosting was especially good when chilled in the fridge. Don't skimp when sprinkling flaky salt on top. Next time, I will add some bittersweet chocolate chips to the batter.

    The cake was good, if a little light on peanut butter flavour, but I wasn't fond of the frosting which didn't taste much like caramel and had that gritty texture I don't much care for. However, the salty-sweet icing was a very good complement to the cake and family really enjoyed it.
