  1. This is a recipe that my son's school prepares for school
    lunches. My son has requested it for his birthday, and the
    school lunch ladies chuckled and wished me luck as the
    provided me the recipe. I have wrestled with it and fully
    understand that I have bit off more than I can chew. Can
    anyone help me with this? I'd like to reduce it to prepare
    in a regular cake pan (9X13)and also convert it to cups,
    TBL, tsp,--measurements that I'm familiar with. Here it is:
    15 oz. butter 15 oz. peanut butter 3 lb. + 12 oz. sugar 9
    lg. eggs 2 lb. + 13 oz. flour 1 oz. soda 2 Tbl. + 3/4 tsp
    baking powder 2 qt. buttermilk 3 Tbl vanilla

    Frosting: 1 1/2 lb. butter 1 1/2 lb. peanut butter 3 lb.
    powdered sugar 3 Tbl vanilla 3 cups pinapple juice.

    Any help I can get, I'd really appreciate!

    Sounds like this recipe is for a full sheet pan's worth. For
    a 13" x 9" pan, I'd divide it by 3. You still might have a
    little more batter than you need--if so, you could bake a
    few cupcakes with the extra.

    5 oz. butter (1 - 1/4 sticks)

    5 oz. peanut butter (2/3 cup)

    20 oz. sugar (3 cups minus 2 Tb.)

    3 large eggs

    15 oz. flour ( 3 - 3/4 cups sifted)

    1/3 oz. soda (2 - 1/8 tsp.)

    2 - 1/4 tsp. baking powder

    2 - 2/3 cups buttermilk

    1 Tb. vanilla

    Frosting:

    2 sticks butter

    1 cup peanut butter

    1 lb. powdered sugar (1 small box)

    1 Tb. vanilla

    1 cup pineapple juice

    Assuming you know the cake mixing procedure--cream butter
    and peanut butter with sugar; beat in eggs; add sifted dry
    ingredients alternately with buttermilk and vanilla.

    For frosting, cream butter and peanut butter, beat in sugar,
    then mix in vanilla and pineapple juice until spreading
    consistency.

    Good luck!

    I recently found that our public schools operate a bake shop
    and catering operation. Maybe you could just buy the cake
    from the school.

    Can't offer much help on the recipe but that does sound like
    it would be 100 times better than any of the junk that my
    kids got from school cafeterias.

    A huge thanks to all! I'm going to give it a whirl and hope
    my son enjoys his birthday cake as much as he anticipates!!!

    It's obvious... divide all ingredients by three (3). You can
    purchase an inexpensive kitchen scale for those few
    ingredients that need weighing but if you strain your
    thinker a wee bit other ways to measure will quickly become
    evident. Most bakers know that a cup of flour weighs about 5
    ounces... measure butter and peanut butter by the water
    displacement method (fill a two cup glass measure to the one
    cup mark and then add butter until the water reaches the
    1cup 5oz mark, then simply pour off water, voila!... easier
    clean up too. I'll leave the other couple items for you to
    figure out, it's easy. Contrary to popular mythology baking
    does NOT require any more ingredient accuracy than most
    other cooking... having an accurate oven is far more
    important than weather your cake contains an ounce of flour
    more or less.
