Yield:
1 (10x15-inch) sheet cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup water

  • ¾ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup peanut butter

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • cup white sugar

  • cup evaporated milk

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • cup chunky peanut butter

  • cup miniature marshmallows

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15x1-inch jellyroll pan.

  2. Stir flour, 2 cups sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; set aside.

  3. Combine water and 3/4 cup of butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter and vegetable oil until well blended; stir mixture into dry ingredients. Combine eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla together; stir into peanut butter mixture until well blended. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 18 to 26 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, make the frosting: Place 2/3 cup sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, marshmallows and vanilla until marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth.

  6. Spoon the frosting over the warm cake and spread in an even layer. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
