Slowly but surely, summer is coming to a close. \u00a0While some of us are soaking in the last bits of vacation, it\u2019s back-to-school time for the rest. \u00a0Time to pack away the sandy swimsuits , campfire-scented tents, and sun-soaked picnic blankets. \u00a0But if you must drag yourself to school when you wish you could be playing in the warmth of the lingering summer sun, at least there is cake.<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake, to be exact.<\/p>\n

Is there anything better than a classic PB&J? \u00a0The kind on squishy white bread made with creamy peanut butter and sweet, gloppy jelly that oozes with every bite? \u00a0As an adult, I\u2019ve tried to refine this nostalgic treat with toasted whole grain braid, natural almond butter, and small-batch jam, but there is really nothing quite like the original. \u00a0Instead of trying to re-invent a tried-and-true classic, I decided to turn those signature flavors into a cake!<\/p>\n

Instead of just the peanut butter frosting that I am sure all of us have tried or topped cupcakes with before, I tried to think of a couple new ways to incorporate peanut butter into a layer cake. \u00a0The cake layers themselves are baked with creamy peanut butter straight in the batter then slathered with sweet strawberry jam. \u00a0But the star of this cake is definitely the Brown-Sugar Peanut Butter Buttercream. \u00a0It tastes just like honey roasted peanuts! \u00a0To finish, seedless jam was used to create a beautiful, almost glass-like finish on the top of the cake surrounded with kisses of more nutty buttercream. \u00a0Coat the sides of the cake with chopped peanuts for extra crunch, if desired.<\/p>\n
