Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15x1-inch jellyroll pan.
2 Stir flour, 2 cups sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; set aside.
3 Combine water and 3/4 cup of butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter and vegetable oil until well blended; stir mixture into dry ingredients. Combine eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla together; stir into peanut butter mixture until well blended. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 18 to 26 minutes.
5 Meanwhile, make the frosting: Place 2/3 cup sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, marshmallows and vanilla until marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth.
6 Spoon the frosting over the warm cake and spread in an even layer. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
