Peanut Butter Icing

Before pouring icing over cake, be sure to poke holes in the cake, so that the icing has a place to go. If you don't, it will go down the sides of the cake and underneath it, leaving you with an upside down cake.

2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1 small can evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 heaping tbsp. creamy or crunchy peanut butter



In a medium sauce pan, combine sugar, butter and evaporated milk; stir to mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly; boil 2 minutes, or to softball stage on candy thermometer. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and peanut butter and stir vigorously. Pour icing over yellow sheet cake. Let sit to allow icing to harden.
