1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Frosting
6 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk

Better?? :)

And here is what perfection looks like ladies and gentleman.. Drumroll please....

For these things you have to love peanut butter, and I mean, who doesn't? Come'on!

Basically, this is a super moist peanut butter cake filled with chocolate chips

and an amazing fluffy frosting!

So.. lets begin!

Step one: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Step two: Combine the milk and the vanilla from the cake recipe in a small bowl

Step three: In another small bowl (I know there are a lot of them. Trust me it's worth it) combine all the baking powder, flour, and salt

Step four: Take out your mixer, if you have one. If you don't you can use a big

bowl and break out the whisk for

a hellava arm workout.

Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy and perfect

Step five: (5,5,5) Add the eggs to your buttery sugar mixture and beat until

smooth and creamy

Step seis (that's six for you nonspanish speaking people out there): Slowly mix in the peanut butter (YUMM) and add half of the flour mixture from

your small bowl into the mixture

Step seven: Now, you know that milk mixture that you made in that cute little small bowl??

Now add that to the big mixture too!

Step eight: Now when that's all smooth and creamy add the remaining flour mixture and

DA DA DA DAAAAA, add the chocolate chips!

It should look something like this now

Step nine: Now evenly distribute the mixture into 12 lined baking cups

Step 10: Finally, bake these cute little cakes of goodness in the preheated oven for

about 22 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly

touched and the sides are

a pretty golden brown.

Now it's time for the best part ever! The FROSTING!! Don't judge me, I get excited about things like this :)

Step one: Take out two little bowls, I know here we are going with the

bowls again but it will be worth all the dirty dishes

in the end, trust me

In one bowl combine the sugar and salt

In the other bowl combine the milk and vanilla

Step two: Take out your mixer or plain whisk again

and in a big bowl combine the butter and peanut butter

Mmmmmmm buttery! :D

And beat that until its all smooth and creamy

Step three: Now add the sugar and milk mixture in

small quantities until it's all in there!

Step four: Add additional milk ONLY if needed for a softer consistency. You can also add additional powdered sugar if you need to make your frosting thicker.
