Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake

This Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake is a delicious peanut butter cake with the most amazing chunky peanut butter frosting.

Okay, my peanut butter loving friends: I definitely have a cake for you today. This is a totally great cake, but I feel like you do need to be a peanut butter lover to fully enjoy it. If you’re more into the peanut butter and chocolate combination, then I’d suggest baking this cake and then putting the chocolate frosting from my Texas Sheet Cake recipe on top. That would be delicious too!
