Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 3 cups Chopped salted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once the cake is cool, invert it onto a clean cutting board. Trim the edges and cut the cake into 24 equal squares.

Step 10

In a medium bowl, prepare the frosting by mixing powdered sugar and water to create a thick but spreadable consistency.

Step 11

Spread the chopped peanuts out on a shallow tray or dish.

Step 12

Using a fork or your hands, dip each cake square into the frosting, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 13

Roll the frosted squares in the chopped peanuts, pressing gently to adhere the nuts to the frosting.

Step 14

Place the coated squares on a tray or plate to allow the frosting to set. Serve and enjoy!
