We are celebrating my niece’s 10th birthday, what better than peanut butter and chocolate to say “Happy Birthday, we love you!”

Peanut Butter Cake:

Preheat oven to 350°.  In medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.  In large bowl of mixer, cream peanut butter and butter.  Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Spread batter in well sprayed 13″x9″ pan.  Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool completely.
