What could possibly be the ‘problem’ on Facebook, with having so many like-minded foodie friends?

There is a near constant stream of tempting cakes and bakes tempting me off the straight and narrow, that’s what!

Now, anyone who knows me well, knows that I simply cannot pass by the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. I really can’t..

So, when Dave in Wales posted a luscious peanut butter cake, it was like the proverbial red rag to a bull. I scrolled past, read more, scrolled back. Looked some more, sighed some more, scrolled past, scrolled back. Asked for the recipe, looked in cupboards to check if I had the required ingredients….

Oven on. Operation peanut butter cake commences.

I swear, within an hour of Dave posting his delicious creation, I had my very own!

Well, it saved me a trip to Wales eh, Dave? 😉

You can find the recipe here.

When I make this cake again. And I will 😉
I shall try reducing the amount of butter slightly, 200g of butter is quite a lot, especially with the addition of 3tbsp of peanut butter in the batter.
Also, both I and Dave added some golden syrup (about 2tbsp) to the chocolate topping, this gives it a nicer consistency will does not set solidly, far nicer I think.

Do try this delicious cake. It’s definitely a keeper.

  1. I absolutely love the photo of the cut piece you posted on FB today Anna as well as in this post. It looks a wonderful cake. Shame I’ve got a mountain of chocolate hazelnut caramel bars to get through first 😉

    • I wouldn’t exactly call it a shame Jo, lol 😂

      I have the problem (as I think you’ve mentioned before too) in that most of my pics are taken when the natural light has gone 😦
      The pic you like was taken today with lots of natural light.

      • Yes I imagined it was an “elevenses” shot 😉 That being said, the half of my house the kitchen is in grey and miserable whereas the other half with the lounge has sun blazing through the windows. Not conducive to a spot of weekend foodie blogging prep 😉
