1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk

Cream shortening, add sugar, cream into shortening. Add eggs, beating well. add peanut butter and vanilla, blend.

Pour into three 8" greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 375ºF. for 25-30 minutes. Remove from pan, cool and frost

Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tsp. cocoa
1/3 stick margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup peanut butter
dash salt
milk

Combine all ingredients, mixing with enough milk to make spreading easy

Most Excellent Caramel Frosting:
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. butter (see note)
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla

1/3 cup chopped, toasted pecans In a shallow 6" saucepan, thoroughly mix brown sugar and flour. Add butter and milk, and set over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Boil exactly 1-1/2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Beat briefly with a wooden spoon until it begins to thicken. Mix in vanilla and continue beating until frosting is the consistency of thick honey, no more than 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately pour caramel frosting onto cooled cake and quickly spread with the back of a warm spoon before frosting begins to set up. Quickly sprinkle top of cake with toasted pecans. Frosting will set up completely in a few hours.
     NOTES: Use real butter only. Do not substitute margarine. *** To toast nuts, spread on baking sheet and bake in 375ºF. oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until brown, or cook in a dry skillet over medium heat until they start to brown. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to scorch them. *** This frosting recipe is easy, but you must have your ingredients set out and ready -- and move quickly. Otherwise, the frosting will set up before you're able to smooth it over the cake. Once you've made this, you'll never want another caramel frosting.
