Prepare cake mix in a 9x13 inch baking dish as directed on the package, about 23-28 minutes. Cool.
In a large sauce pan, combine sugar, milk, shortening, butter, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Once it reaches a boil, let it boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
Remove from heat; immediately whisk in the vanilla and peanut butter; beat until icing is smooth and starts to lose its shine.
Immediately pour it evenly onto the cooled cake. Don't try spreading the icing
Cool before serving.
10-12 servings.
