PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE

2 cups sifted flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
2 eggs
7-minute icing
1 cup current jelly or other
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder andsalt into mixing bowl.  Add shortening, peanut butter and milk.  Beat 2 minutes on medium speed.  Add eggs and beat 2 more minutes.  Pour into greased and floured 13 X 9" baking dish.  Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.  Cool.  Sprad stirred up current jellly evenly over cake.  Cover with 7-minute icing and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.  Cut in squares to serve.

Well, this cake tastes exactly how you think it would taste.  I looked up a recipe for 7-minute icing and used that.  It was the general concensus that the cake was all right but that the frosting combination on it was kind of weird.  I'm glad I tried it, but it could be improved.
