Ingredients:

For the Cake:

2¼ cups all-purpose flour

2 cups light brown sugar, packed

1 cup peanut butter

½ cup butter, room temperature

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1¼ cups milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 eggs

For the Frosting:

½ cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups powdered sugar

4 to 5 tablespoons milk

Topping:

1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat and Prep:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch cake pan.

Make the Cake Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter. Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend the ingredients until crumbly.

Add Wet Ingredients:

Add the baking powder, baking soda, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the crumb mixture. Blend on low speed until the mixture is moistened, then increase to medium speed and beat for 3 minutes until the batter is smooth.

Bake the Cake:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the center of the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool Slightly:

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes once out of the oven.

Prepare the Frosting:

In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter and honey just until softened and easy to stir (about 20–30 seconds). Stir in the vanilla, powdered sugar, and 4 tablespoons of milk. Beat until smooth, adding more milk as needed for a spreadable consistency.

Frost the Cake:

Spread the frosting over the still-warm cake while it's in the pan.

Add the Chocolate Chips:

Immediately sprinkle 1 cup of mini chocolate chips over the warm frosting so they soften slightly and stick to the top.

Serve and Enjoy:

Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Enjoy this rich, nutty, chocolate-kissed dessert!
