Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack.
Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in brown sugar.
Heat to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form; set aside.
In another medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup peanut butter and the brown sugar mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add whipped cream to peanut butter mixture; beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and creamy.
