Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two greased 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the mixture until just combined.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before transferring to a cooling rack.
For frosting, beat together peanut butter and softened butter, then gradually add powdered sugar and milk until creamy.
Assemble the cake by layering jelly and frosting between the cooled cakes and frosting the top and sides.
