Chocolatey cake with chocopeanut
- 175 grams softened butter
- 175 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams cake flour/self raising flour
- 3 large eggs
- 150 grams cocoa powder,sifted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup yogurt or evaporated milk
- 1 pinch of salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate,1/3 cup peanut butter and 150g vermicelli chocolate
- 100 grams chopped butter
- Heat the oven to 180C (gas mark 4).
- Lightly grease an 18cm (7in) round cake tin with a little extra butter or margarine and cut a piece of greaseproof paper or non-stick baking parchment to fit the base of the tin.
- Put all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or a hand-held mixer for 1 minute, or until just combined.
- It's important not to beat the batter too much - just long enough to make it smooth.
- Pour or spoon the mixture into the tin, smooth the top and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 45-50 minutes.
- The cake is cooked when it looks well risen and golden; the top should spring back when lightly touched with a fingertip.
- Another test is to insert a skewer into the centre of the cake - it should come out clean.
- Let the cake sit in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edge and turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool.
- For the icing, place the dark chocolate and chopped butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan of very hot water until melted.let cool for 5 minutes.with a hand mixer,beat the chocolate and peanut butter until well blended.
- spread over the top of the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle vermicelli choco until coated.slice and serve.
