Peanut Butter Snack Cake

This is a quick and easy cake for those in a hurry.  It can be eaten with your hands as a quick snack or dressed up with icing and served warm with ice cream!  The original recipe is from my 'Best of Bridges' cookbook and was a marble snack cake made with Nutella.  I didn't have any Nutella in the house so I substitued for peanut butter and skipped the marbleing step to save me time!  Here's my alternative cake recipe, hope you enjoy!
