Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour two 9-in. round baking pans. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to peanut butter mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
