Hello,

Have to post another picture. This is quite hilarious.

I made a sub sandwich, as you all know. Shortly after, I was going through my closet looking for my painting supplies, when I found something my grandfather gave to me while he was in Russia. I took another picture and put it next to the sub sandwich.

I hereby name this submarine sandwich, “Red October.“

Get the joke?

Cool hat! "Red October"

Here's the new cake recipe I tried:
* I made some adjustments for our elevation, ignore if you're lower than 7,000'

Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cake
2 Cups AP flour
2 Cups sugar *minus 2 Tab
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 stick (1/2 Cup) unsalted butter
1 cup water
1/2 Cup peanut butter (not natural)
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, room temperature *plus 1 egg yolk
1/2 Cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract

Frosting
1 stick (1/2 Cup) unsalted butter
1/2 Cup creamy peanut butter
6 Tab buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Cups powdered sugar

Optional
1/2 Cup roasted peanuts on top of frosting
or
1/2 Cup mini chocolate chips mixed in cake batter

Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Spray 9x13" pan with no-stick (I used parchment paper instead)
3. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
4. Heat the butter and water in a medium saucepan until it comes to a boil. Take off the heat and whisk in the peanut butter and oil until smooth. Let cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla until well blended.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. If adding mini chocolate chips, stir in now.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes (*38 min for me), until top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set the cake on a cooling rack.

Frosting:
1. Make the frosting made while the cake is baking. Frosting goes on top of warm cake!
2. To make frosting, put the butter, peanut butter and buttermilk in a saucepan and bring to a full boil. Take off the heat and beat in the vanilla and powdered sugar, adding a cup at a time, until the frosting is smooth. This frosting sets quickly, if it sets too fast, put it back on a very low heat to rewarm it, stirring constantly.
3. Pour the hot frosting over the warm cake, spread evenly.
4. If desired, top frosting with roasted peanuts.

Did you use crunchy peanut butter?

I had a pan of frosted cinnamon rolls in the freezer. I wanted them right away, but I obviously didn’t want the cream cheese to completely melt. Leaving the foil on, I set the oven to 300°F, and put the pan in immediately. After 20 minutes, I’d say they were perfect. The middle ones were a little cold in spots, but overall, the rolls were warm, and the frosting was the same consistency as when I spread it on.

My convection oven has a re heat setting. I will do a combination of microwave and re heat in the oven. I go between seconds and minutes for the microwave and then run 5 minutes or so on reheat.

Works great!

There’s just something about yellow that makes me happy. I’m bringing these to my son’s friends family as his dad passed away Sunday night. I’m also bringing in sloppy joe’s, beans and chips.
