Healthy Easy Texas Sheet Cake Recipe :- There’s a cute backstory to go along with this recipe for Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake. I’m attempting to “seize” and maximise this unique moment in time with Scott. Emmy, 7, and Hayes, 4, our two grandchildren who reside nearby, are currently enrolled in online classes. In order to give mom a little respite and for us to spend some quality time with the kids, we requested their parents if we could spend one day a week as the “specialists” for the kids. With Papa Scott taking on the role of “the music specialist” and me teaching cooking, the parents were overjoyed and we were hired right away.

Instructions
Regarding the cake
Set oven temperature to 350ËšF. Spread a generous amount of baking spray OR shortening onto a 12-by-18-inch sheet pan. Next, add a tablespoon of flour and tilt the pan in all directions to evenly coat the shortening with flour.
Put the butter, peanut butter, and water in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Cook for 2 to 2 and a half minutes on high power, or until the butter melts. Whisk in the vanilla and sugar until thoroughly blended. To cool, set aside for five minutes.
After adding the eggs and whisking until smooth, mix in the salt and baking soda. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
Once the mixture is lump-free, add the flour and whisk rapidly until completely incorporated. Then, add the buttermilk.
Transfer the mixture into the ready pan and level it out to a uniform thickness. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top feels firm and gently springs back when touched, and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
After 20 minutes of cooling, drizzle with the frosting. Using a knife, coat the surface with the icing. For a visually appealing appearance, you can use the back of a tiny spoon to swirl the icing. Heat or serve room temperature.
For the icing:
Put the butter, peanut butter, and dark brown sugar into a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. For one minute, cook on high power. After thoroughly whisking, give it another minute in the microwave.
Add the vanilla and 4 tablespoons of buttermilk (or half-and-half or milk). Mix thoroughly with a whisk. When adding, mix in 3½ cups of powdered sugar until smooth. You want a frosting that is pourable but still quite thick. Add a small amount extra buttermilk if it’s too thick. If too thin, adjust with a small amount additional powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
