In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Mix and set aside.<\/li>\n<li>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the peanut butter, and mix until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, and add the eggs one at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Place half of the flour mixture into the bowl with the peanut butter mixture. Mix. Add the sour cream, and remaining flour mixture, and continue to mix until no white streaks remain.<\/li>\n<li>Bake in a silicone sandwich mold* for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before cutting and adding fillings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Raspberry Fruit Filling<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In a medium sized pot over medium heat, combine raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch. Stir occasionally until mixture comes to a boil.<\/li>\n<li>Allow to boil while stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes, or until mixture thickens.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Remove from heat, and allow to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Peanut Butter Filling<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine peanut butter and icing sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Gradually add milk and continue to mix until all ingredients are combined.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Cake Assembly:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Level the top of the sandwich cake by removing a thin layer from the top, using a serrated knife. Cut the sandwich into two pieces of equal sized bread and set top slice to the side.<\/li>\n<li>On top of the bottom piece of bread, smooth the peanut butter filling on, and then the raspberry fruit filling.<\/li>\n<li>Place the top piece of bread back on top.<\/li>\n<li>Slice, serve and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>*Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you do not have, or want to invest in a sandwich mold, you can also choose to bake your cake in a square pan. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you want to substitute a different fruit for the filling, replace with an equal portion into the recipe. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cake filling is quite sour, which I felt went perfectly with the sweetness of the cake overall. \u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit
