HFP Malted Belgian Waffle and Pancake Peanut Butter Lovers Cake

 I made this cake last Friday and it was quite good, but slightly dry. Today, I perfected it! It is fabulous. A caveat, you must love the taste of peanut butter.  Timmy, my friend who walks Bella at night, ate all of his piece of cake on his way home tonight!

This cake is very easy to prepare; dump all the ingredients in one bowl and mix thoroughly with a spoon.

I would certainly serve this cake for breakfast or brunch, but my first choice is dessert with good, quality ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Yes, if you are going to go wacky...... go all the way!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake on center rack. Baking time: 40 to 45 minutes. Spray or butter one 9 inch layer cake pan and dust with sugar. Yield one 9 inch coffee cake.
