- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
 - ⅓ cup light corn syrup
 - 2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners’)
 - 3–4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
 
Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and sugar a bundt pan.
 - In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
 - Mix in the peanut butter until smooth.
 - Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition.
 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
 - Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the butter mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients.
 - Stir in the vanilla extract.
 - Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
 - Bake for 75–85 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
 - Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
 
For the Frosting:
- Beat together the peanut butter, vanilla, and corn syrup until smooth.
 - Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream, until the frosting is thick but spreadable.
 - Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and let it drizzle down the sides.
 
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients for best results.
 - Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
 - For thinner frosting, add more heavy cream (1 teaspoon at a time).
