PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE 
2 c. all-purpose flour, unsifted
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/4 c. peanut butter, creamy type
1 1/3 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 to 1 c. grape jelly

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease and flour two 9x1 1/2-inch layer cake pans. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt onto wax paper. Beat together butter, sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl with mixer at high speed until well blended. Gradually beat in eggs. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk until well blended. Add vanilla.

Pour into prepared pans, equally dividing batter. Bake in preheated oven (350 degrees) for 30-35 minutes or until tests done. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto cake racks. Cool completely. Spread jelly between layers. Frost top and sides with Peanut Butter Frosting:

Beat together 2 1/2 tablespoons softened butter and 2 tablespoons peanut butter in small bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in 2 cups sifted 10X (confectioners) sugar alternately with 3-4 tablespoons milk until of a good spreading consistency. Garnish top with stripes or circles or webs of jelly.

Delicious cake and great recipe! The frosting is a little too runny, but the cake itself is flavorful and fluffy. I made it with strawberry preserves in the center. Sweet but not overbearing.

The cake turned out really well, and even though I tried to prevent it from happening, the frosting was really runny and more of a glaze than fluffy frosting. I took this cake to a friends house for Easter, and everyone loved it. It tastes just like a PB&J sandwich!
