Jim Bob'S Chocolate-Molasses Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    cake
    2 cups granulated sugar
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 eggs
    1 cup milk
    1/2 cup dark molasses
    1/2 cup canola oil
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 cup boiling water
    frosting
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1 cup peanut butter
    8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
    3 -4 teaspoons milk
Preparation
    Combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a whisk to blend.
    Add the eggs, milk, molasses, oil, and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes.
    Add the water and stir it into the batter by hand.
    Pour the batter, which will be very thin, into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
    To make the frosting, combine the butter, peanut butter, and cream cheese in a large bowl and beat until fluffy.
    Slowly add the confectioners' sugar, beating to form a smooth frosting.
    Add the milk 1 tsp at a time until the frosting reaches the desired spreading consistency.
    Frost the cake and let it sit for 30 minutes before cutting.
