Blend the warm peanut butter mixture into the flour batter until fully incorporated, then pour and spread it into your prepared pan.

Stir the milk and vanilla extract into the melted mixture until they are fully combined.
Whisk the confectioners' sugar into the saucepan until the icing is smooth. this will take 3 to 5 minutes.
