Preparation

- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter. Mix with an electric mixer at low speed until the mixture is crumbly.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and eggs. Blend at low speed until combined, then beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Frosting
- Warm the peanut butter and honey in the microwave until soft and easy to stir.
- Add vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and milk. Beat until the frosting is smooth.
- Spread the peanut butter-honey frosting over the cake while still hot, and sprinkle with mini-chocolate chips.
Notes
Measure your ingredients accurately for the best texture. Let the butter come to room temperature for easy mixing. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency. You can add a pinch of salt to the frosting for heightened flavor or substitute the chocolate chips with chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
