Scale

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
