Ingredients

  • 1 baked Peanut Butter Cake (Master Cookbook Recipe # 244), cooled in a 13x9 inch pan
  • 1 batch Peanut Butter Buttercream (Master Cookbook Recipe # 245)
  • 1 large jar grape jam (Tammy recommends jam over jelly for the best texture)

Instructions

  1. Frost: Once your Peanut Butter Cake has cooled completely in the pan, spread a generous, even layer of the Peanut Butter Buttercream over the top.
  2. Add Jam: Spoon the grape jam over the top of the icing.
  3. Swirl: Using a knife or a small spatula, gently swirl the jam into the frosting to create a beautiful marbled effect, or decorate the top as desired.
  4. Serve: Slice and serve directly from the pan.

Notes

Tammy's Tip: "Make sure you use grape jam rather than jelly. The jam has a thicker, more fruit-forward consistency that holds its shape better when you swirl it into that creamy peanut butter frosting!"
