Peanut Butter Pound Cake

"The cake is just as good without the icing".

Cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.  Add brown sugar and peanut butter and continue to beat thoroughly.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla and blend well.  Sift together the dry ingredients and add alternately with the milk.  Lightly grease a Bundt pan.  Pour batter into pan and bake at 325 degrees for one hour or until it tests done with a toothpick. 

Frosting

Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth.  Use just enough milk to make frosting of spreading consistency.
