Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons butter, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one sheet cake pan or one cookie sheet with 1 inch sides.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat eggs until lemon colored. Add vanilla and salt. Stir in sugar, flour, milk, baking powder, and melted butter or margarine.

Step 3

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overbake.

Step 4

While the cake is still warm, spread with peanut butter. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate morsels, and put the pan back into the oven to melt the chocolate. Spread the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter. Refrigerate until chocolate is set. Alternatively, you can let the peanut butter cool and harden. Later, melt the chocolate, and spread it on the cake. It comes out in two distinct peanut butter and chocolate layers that way.
