Peanut Butter Pound Cake

An easy cake to make, the richness of pound cake is a perfect match for peanut butter.

You only need half a cup of peanut butter for this recipe, but you still get a lovely full peanut butter taste. I also love the use of brown sugar which adds to the rich, deep flavour.

But wait there’s more. If peanut butter cake wasn’t enough to make you happy, there are little peanut butter chocolate swirl bits in the cake too. Yep, it just keeps getting better.

If you can’t get your hands on the chocolate peanut butter swirl buttons, you could either use normal chocolate chips (white chocolate chips would be great), or smash up some chocolate peanut butter cups.

There’s no messing around with this cake. It doesn’t even need frosting (although you could always add one if you felt the need). Dust with icing sugar and you’re away.

Do you think it would be too wicked to spread a little jelly on a slice of this cake? I wonder…
