PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE BITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (13x9-inch) pans with shortening or cooking spray. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Spread batter evenly in pans.
• Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pans on cooling racks. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen. Place cooling rack upside down over each pan; turn racks and pans over. Remove pans.
• Place 1 cake on work surface or cutting board; spread grape jelly over cake to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with remaining cake.
• In medium bowl, beat butter and peanut butter with electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Spread frosting over cake. Refrigerate until frosting hardens, about 1 hour. With hot knife, cut cake into 6 rows by 4 rows. Cut each square diagonally in half. Top each cake bite with 3 peanuts.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• Grease sides and bottom of 13x9 pan.
• In large mixing bowl, blend eggs, oil, water and cake mix until blended. Beat on medium speed with mixer about 2 minutes. Pour into pan and bake until done about 25-30 minutes.
• While cake is baking: boil 1 cup water, remove from heat and stir in Jello until dissolved. Add grape jelly and stir til jelly melted and dissolved.
• When cake tests done, remove from oven. While hot, poke holes throughout top of cake (I use handle of wooden spoon). Pour grape Jello mixture all over top of hot cake letting mix into all holes. Set aside to cool on rack.
• In large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, peanut butter, vanilla and salt. With mixer at medium speed, mix about 2 minutes til well blended and somewhat fluffy. Add confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time(stop the mixer to add!) Beat on medium til all sugar is incorporated and consistency is thick frosting. Spread on cooled cake covering entire top with thick layer of frosting. As a finishing touch, I add a TINY sprinkling of salt to top of frosting or crushed salted peanuts.
