Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons margarine
1 ¼ cups peanut butter
2 pounds milk chocolate candy bar, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan.
2. Sift together flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
3. Beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in flour mixture until just combined.
5. Microwave milk and margarine until bubbling, then stir into batter.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
7. Spread peanut butter over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
8. Melt chocolate and spread over the peanut butter layer. Chill again until the chocolate hardens.
9. Cut and serve once fully set.
Notes
You can use dark chocolate instead of milk for a richer flavor.
For extra crunch, add chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter before spreading the chocolate.
