What does this mean?

Peanut butter + chocolate is amazing enough. But add those 2 ingredients to a simple banana cake and it becomes something else. If you can't get hold of Reese's peanut butter cups (I've found a lot of UK shops sell them now), just add extra chocolate chips. http://baking-joy.com

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 120 ml sunflower oil
  • 225 grams light brown muscovado sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 225 grams self-raising flour
  • 2 medium bananas (ripe)
  • 150 ml natural yoghurt
  • 50 grams chocolate chips
  • 3 large Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • 70 grams smooth peanut butter 50g for cake, 20g for top

Method

  • Preheat oven to Gas4/180C.  Line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper (or use a ready made loaf tin liner). Using a whisk, mix together the oil, sugar and eggs (1 at a time).  Beat in the 50g peanut butter.
  • Sift flour into bowl and fold into mixture.
  • Mash bananas and fold into mixture with the natural yoghurt.
  • Chop peanut butter cups and fold into mixture, along with the chocolate chips.  Pour mixture into loaf tin.
  • Melt the 20g of peanut butter on the hob or in a microwave.  Dollop the runny peanut butter on top of the mixture and swirl with a fork.
  • Bake for around 1hr 20 mins until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.  Check cake after 1hr and place foil on top if you feel it's getting too dark.
