Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 C Creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 C Butter at room temperature
  • 1 C Confectioner's sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp milk. Amount is "more or less" depending on consistency you need.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • beat peanut butter and butter in bowl until well-combined. It's important that the butter be at room temperature.
  • Blend in the sugar, a quarter cup at a time, until well mixed
  • Blend in the vanilla extract, if using.
  • Add the milk, 1/2 tbsp at a time, until the frosting is spreadable. Don't add too much, since you don't want the frosting oozing out between the layers.

Notes

This is more or less a standard recipe for butter cream frosting, but with peanut butter replacing some of the butter.
