"This dessert was attributed to First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Recipe by: Atlanta Journal/Constitution Newspaper Was prettiest in fluted Bundt cake pan with peanut butter glaze others said the peanuts fall off when baked on cake. Some thought the cake was dry because the addition of peanut butter as does that sometimes. Buttermilk or sour cream is supposed to counter act that."
