Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

Only one picture of this cake...what was I thinking perhaps it was  too early in the morning for thinking:(
I hope you can imagine the cake decorated with chocolate!!!
Peanut Butter Sheet Cake:
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease 12 x 17 pan
In a medium sauce pan add the peanut butter, water, and butter; bring to a boil and remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl mix together the sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt and baking soda.  Add the peanut butter mixture and stir well.  Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.  Mix well.
Pour into prepared pan (I used a foil pan)
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Frosting:
3/4 cup butter
6 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 cup peanut butter
3  1/2 cups powdered sugar
In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, buttermilk, and peanut butter to a boil.  Remove pan from heat and add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth.  I sifted the powdered sugar and added slowly. Spread over the cake and allow to set up, then melt chocolate chips and pour into a decorating bag and drizzle over the peanut butter frosting.
Enjoy~
