Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake

Monday, April 22, 2013

As I've told you before, I am a big fan of one-layer cakes. Elaborately frosted, tiered cakes are not my favorite things to make. Luckily, you don't need to make that kind of effort to make a beautiful cake. I've had Texas Sheet Cakes before, but they've always been chocolate. This one, however, is all about peanut butter. If you love peanut butter like I do, you'll be happy to know that there is peanut butter in both the cake and the icing.

Because of how much I love the glorious combination of chocolate and peanut butter, I'm always looking for new ways to use them. I've covered cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, and more. But, these little tartlets are pretty special. It all starts with the crust, which is essentially a peanut butter cookie. If you're like me, you're already sold. Then, a fudgy chocolate filling goes into the crust for a magical chocolate-peanut butter experience.

I've always been fascinated by the combination of peanut butter and bananas. Honestly, though, I have been a bit skeptical about that pairing. It just seemed like an odd combination. To decide once and for all if I'm a peanut butter/banana supporter, I made these bars with a big dose of each. The verdict? I'm in.

I have a long-standing love of cheesecake. It started in my childhood with cheesecake from a box and grew from there. It was usually my go-to dessert choice when we went out. Then, I realized how simple they are to make, and now I love them even even more. Philadelphia Cream Cheese is celebrating Easter this year with Bring Out the Silver, a virtual recipe swap among selected food bloggers who are bringing out the silver by baking cheesecakes using Philadelphia Cream Cheese in its unmistakable silver package. When they asked me to be part of that campaign, I knew that I couldn't pass up that chance to celebrate with one of my favorite baking ingredients.

It's been a while since I baked anything using chocolate and peanut butter. While I do believe variety is a good thing, I also believe with absolute certainty that the combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a very, very good thing. I've made peanut butter brownies many times, but these are different from any of those. The difference? Streusel. Not just any streusel. Peanut butter streusel. I'm pretty sure that's a new one for me.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that banana bread is the search term that brings more people to Bake or Break than anything else. It's a commonly searched-for recipe, and I just happen to have a long-standing love affair going on with banana bread. Recently, I received a copy of Lindsay Landis' and Taylor Hackbarth's new book, Breakfast for Dinner. I have to type that carefully, because the Southern girl in me so wants to type "supper" instead.
