Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 cup water
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Coat an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet generously with nonstick baking spray or grease it thoroughly with butter and a light dusting of flour. Make sure the entire surface is well-covered, tapping out any excess flour.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and peanut butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 1 minute.
Add the flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda to the warm mixture. Whisk together gently until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
Stir in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and buttermilk. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.
