1 Heat oven to 350°. Generously grease bottoms only of 2 round pans, 8 or 9 x 1 1/2 inches, with shortening.

4 Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
5 Beat whipping cream in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form; set aside. Beat 1/2 cup peanut butter and the brown sugar mixture in another medium bowl
on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add whipped cream to peanut butter mixture; beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and creamy.
6 Split each cake layer horizontally to make 2 layers. Fill each layer with about 2/3 cup peanut butter mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge. Frost side and top of cake with frosting. Press
chopped peanuts onto frosting on side of cake. Store covered in the refrigerator.
