Equipment

- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Toothpick (for testing doneness)
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup brewed coffee cooled
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup roasted salted peanuts
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan to prepare for the cake.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the cooled brewed coffee and stir until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
Step 5: Prepare the Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, roasted peanuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until the topping is crumbly.
Step 6: Assemble and Bake
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and enjoy!
