Peanut Butter Cake Dessert Recipe

If you need a quick, easy homemade dessert this is it! My teen made this Peanut Butter Pan Cake from the Meals in Minutes Gooseberry Patch Cookbook. Most of the ingredients you will have on hand if not all of them. Some people think that a box mix is quick, which it is, but if you are wanting something just as quick that is homemade this is the cake. I really only takes a few minutes to add the ingredients together and bake. Give this dessert recipe a try!
