Bake in three cake pans at 350 for about 35 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in their pans before turning out to cool completely.
Frosting
Combine peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. You may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of milk if the mixture is too thick. Alternatively, if the mixture becomes too runny for your tastes, add extra powdered sugar.
