Sometimes I think the only reason I eat cake is for the frosting. I just really really really love frosting. When I was a kid, I used to eat all of the cake first, and then have a pile of frosting that I would eat separately after I had rid my plate of that pesky cake. My tastes are slightly more refined these days, as I will go ahead and eat my cake and frosting together. Nonetheless, this peanut butter frosting is so delicious I really could eat it on its own. It tastes great on both cakes and brownies.
