Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cake
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
- All-purpose flour, for the pan
- 1 18 .25-ounce box white cake mix, plus required ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup grape jelly
- Butter a 9-inch-square cake pan, line with parchment, then butter again and dust with flour.
- Make the cake mix and fill the pan three-quarters full (you'll have batter left over).
- Bake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.
- Transfer the cake to a work surface.
- Trim off the top using a serrated knife, then slice the cake in half horizontally.
- Beat the butter and peanut butter with a mixer until smooth.
- Alternate adding the confectioners' sugar and milk, beating after each addition, until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk the grape jelly until it is loose and spreadable.
- Spread a thick layer of peanut butter frosting on the bottom cake half.
- Spread the grape jelly on top of the peanut butter frosting, making sure to reach the edges.
- Top with the remaining cake layer.
- Cut the cake in half diagonally and transfer to a serving plate.
- Separate the halves slightly to show the filling.
