Indulge in a rich peanut butter chocolate cake that will wow your guests!
Ingredients:
  • 200g butter, softened
  • 215.00 gm raw caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 180g dark chocolate, melted, cooled
  • 32.50 gm cocoa powder
  • 262.50 gm self-raising flour
  • 260.00 gm buttermilk
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 195.00 gm smooth peanut butter
  • 150.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 75g milk chocolate
  • 75g dark chocolate
  • 83.33 gm thickened cream
  • 41.60 gm smooth peanut butter
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and prepare a 6cm-deep, 20cm round cake pan by greasing it and lining the base and sides with baking paper. 2. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk together butter, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy. 3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well beaten in before adding the next. 4. Stir in melted chocolate and cocoa until just combined.
  • Alternate adding the flour and buttermilk in two parts, stirring to combine each time. Spoon the batter into the pan, smooth the surface, and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it stand in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the frosting: With an electric mixer, whip together butter and peanut butter until airy. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar mixture while continuing to beat until well blended.
  • Prepare the ganache by combining chocolate, cream, and peanut butter in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at medium power for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds with a metal spoon until completely melted and smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes until thick and easily spreadable.
  • Using a serrated knife, skillfully slice the cake into three layers horizontally. Begin by placing the base layer on a plate and generously spread half of the frosting on top. Repeat this process with the middle layer and remaining frosting. Carefully assemble the layers and top with the final cake layer. Smoothly cover the entire cake with ganache and let it rest for 20 minutes to set. Serve and enjoy!
