Peanut Butter Cake

Mrs. Ivan Yoder shared this Peanut Butter Cake recipe. This recipe is one she learned from an older relative who believed that a good cake should be firm enough to slice cleanly yet soft enough to feel comforting. Mrs. Yoder has kept that idea close, and her version has become a favorite among friends who enjoy its familiar flavor and generous layers. She wrote the recipe down for us with the hope that others might enjoy it as much as her own family does. The topping is one she remembers watching her mother make, stirring coconut in a skillet until it turned golden and fragrant. The finished cake has a pleasant sweetness that feels just right for sharing. Mrs. Yoder says it is often served at Sunday meals or taken along when visiting neighbors, and she enjoys knowing that each slice carries a bit of her kitchen into someone else’s home.
