Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

Peanut Butter Sheet Cake


It's always great to attend church and it's even better, especially if you ask the men, when there's a dinner or food afterwards.  A few months ago, a sweet lady in our church made a spaghetti dinner while several of us hung Christmas decorations.  We came downstairs to eat and she had made this amazing peanut butter sheet cake for dessert.  After just one bite, I was hooked.  I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I love it with chocolate and I certainly found this cake appetizing.  This is a big sheet cake, so it would be ideal for a crowd!

I asked her if I could share the recipe with you, so here it is:
