I always have one jar of peanuts butter in my pantry! But the truth is, it does not get to be open as much as the chocolate spread one! So i had to change the habits a little and find a nice recipe with PB, that will become a classic in my kitchen! ’’Touch down!’’ Really what an amazing recipe! The cake is absolutely delicious! The flavors are at their best! The texture is almost as fluffy as a sponge cake kind of cake. A stunning recipe. It is a big recipe. You will maybe have to cut the proportion in half! We finished it before the time limit. Not surprising now that I tasted it! C’est parti pour la recette !
Serves 12
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature (185g) and more for the pan
2¾ cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus more for the pan (300g)
¾ cup creamy peanut butter (150g)
4 large eggs
¾ cup buttermilk, at room temperature (185g)
To make your buttermilk, just mix together the same amount of buttermilk in milk. And add to it 2 to 3 tbsp of lemon juice. Let it sit for about 4-7 minutes. It will thickens and become the same texture as the buttermilk.
2 cups granulated sugar (400 g)
½ cup water
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
¼ cup dry-roasted peanuts, chopped (45g)
Method!
Preheat the oven @ 350°F. / 180C
Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt or 10-inch tube pan. 25 cm. Indeed it is a big cake.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and ½ cup of the peanut butter using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs and ½ cup of the buttermilk and beat until just combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour, granulated sugar, water, baking powder and vanilla and mix until just incorporated, 30 seconds. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake, 45 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 F and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it will take maybe 10-15 minutes more. Cool in the pan, 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, prepare the icing…
combine the confectioners’ sugar, peanuts and the remaining ¼ cup each peanut butter and buttermilk. Spoon over the cake just before serving. enjoy!!! It is so cruelly delicious.
