PB & J Cake
The most popular cake on my page…the peanut butter and jelly cake. This is for sure a fan favorite!
It’s been said that this cake tastes just like a peanut butter sandwich.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 stick melted butter
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup jelly
Topping
- 8oz whipped topping
- 1/4 cup each of jelly and Peanut butter
- Optional*** Chopped Peanuts
Let’s get creating!
Starting out, preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a large mixing bowl, add your cake mix and peanut butter, mixing until crumbly.
Melt butter in microwave safe dish. Mix in milk, butter and eggs until completely incorporated (batter will be chunky).
Next, pour the batter into a lightly greased 9×13 cake pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool on the counter for 15 minutes.
Using a rounded kitchen utensil, poke holes across the top of the cake.
In a microwave safe bowl, add a cup of jelly and microwave in 30 second intervals until runny (stirring after each 30 second interval) then pour evenly over the top of the cake.
Next, place the cake in the fridge for 2 hours to cool completely.
Once chilled, spread on whipped topping and microwave remaining jelly and peanut butter to pour over the top (optional: mix peanut butter with whip topping before spreading).
Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired and serve.
In my opinion, this tastes exactly like a PB and J. We loved it, hope you do as well!

I’m going to make this for Easter dessert! Thanks for the great recipes and entertaining videos! Almost all the meals I make are from your videos! I wish your family the best!
That’s wonderful! Thank you for your support. Hope you all enjoy the cake!
Our family loves this recipe. We have tried it both ways (pb mixed with cool whip and drizzled with jam vs pb and jam drizzled over cool whip) and even though the cool whip bubbles a little due to the heat from the jam/pb being warm, the flavors being separate seemed to taste a little better than with it mixed in….If anyone was curious!
Made it for Wednesday night dinner desert. The group devoured it. Thanks!
Can’t wait to make this!
I made this for a coworker’s birthday. She loves Smuckers Uncrustables, she absolutely loved it and so did the rest of our coworkers. I truly enjoy watching your videos and have made many of your recipes. Thank you, Michael
That is awesome! We appreciate your support and are so glad your coworker loved the cake!
I’m printing this off as I think my grandson will love it. When I screenshot the written instructions, I noticed you left the melted butter out of the egg/milk additions. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Love your videos!
