Ingredients

240 g all purpose flour
200 g white sugar
113 g butter
150 g egg
4.2 g vanilla extract
9.2 g baking powder
122 g milk

Method

Cake:
1. Heat the oven to 350°F / 180°C and grease and flour a 9×13 pan.
2. Cream the sugar and butter until fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time and the vanilla.
3. Sift the flour and baking powder together and beat into the batter in thirds, alternating with the milk.
4. Spread into the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 18–20 min. Cool completely, then cut into pieces.
Frosting: Cream the butter, then beat in the powdered sugar alternating with the milk. Beat in the vanilla, adjusting milk or sugar to a soft, spreadable frosting.
Coating: Chop the peanuts coarse. Frost the top and sides of each piece and roll in the peanuts to coat all but the bottom. Air-dry a few hours before storing.
