Do you ever have certain memories just pop into your head? I do sometimes. One of the memories I’ve thought of lately is how my grandma makes the worlds best Peanut Butter Sheet Cake. She makes it every year for our family gathering for the holidays. It quickly became my husbands favorite dessert.
Family Favorite
Thankfully, my sweet grandma gave me her recipe so I now make it for our family! Do you want to know what the secret ingredient is? MILK! It makes the cake so moist and delicious, and it makes the frosting the perfect consistency! I love that this Peanut Butter Sheet Cake is a recipe I can now make for my family, it always brings back memories of the holidays and spending time with my family, which I love!
Add a Simple Fall Touch
The consistency of this cake is also perfect for cutting with cookie cutters. It is always fun to add a little seasonal touch to a baked good. For this Peanut Butter Sheet Cake I decided to use some fall cookie cutters and cut out different fall shapes. I love how it adds the perfect fall touch.
