Peanut Butter Cake With Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Frosting#BundtBakers

This was so delicious and moist! Made this as a dessert cake for a get together. I just got one piece, it was gone, they couldn't stop eating it, incredible. This peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting is the perfect cake to make when you just want something different. Moist, super soft and packed with the perfect amount of peanut butter flavor.
Cup Measurement = 250ML
Ingredients
113 Grams Salted Butter
1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut butter
1 Cup Coffee
1 Cup Caster Sugar
1 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
3 Large Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Buttermilk 
For the Frosting
1/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Cup Icing Sugar
3 Cubes Cream Cheese
1 - 2 Tablespoons Milk or as required

Method
Preheat over to 180°C.
Sieve the flour and baking soda, keep aside.
In a cup of hot water mix in a teaspoon instant coffee, mix it well and keep it aside to cool.

Generously grease and flour a bundt pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl beat the butter, peanut butter and vanilla essence

until creamy.

Now add the coffee

Beat again till incorporated well.

Beat in both the sugars

Add eggs one at time till all are incorporated

Add sieved flour at little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk.

Mix just until flour and buttermilk is well combined. Do not over mix. This batter is liquidy.

Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake at for 45-50 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for about 5-10 minutes.

Remove cake from pan and let cool completely on wire rack

Make the frosting by beating it together until all frosting ingredients are mixed  to make a drizzle consistency. Drizzle this on the cake with a fork. Enjoy!!

I enjoyed my share with coffee, this cake is so comforting.

1½ Tablespoon Sesame oil
For The Sauce
1 Tablespoons Soy sauce
1½ Tablespoon Peanut butter - I used chunky peanut butter
1 Tablespoon Brown sugar- optional - I did not add
1½ Tablespoon Red Chili Garlic Sauce

Method 

Wash and soak the brown rice for at least 1 hour.
Then boil it in 1 to 1½ litre of water till done but not mushy. Drain and keep it aside.
Mix all ingredients for the sauce. Add in the tofu.
In a wok heat oil add garlic, spring onion white part, peas and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

MINI CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS #FOODIEEXTRAVAGANZA

This month for Foodie Extravaganza {Party} I am the host. I am so happy to be a part of this group. This month the theme is Peanut Butter. I have made this dessert just yesterday for our Diwali lunch. These mini cups are just apt as a dessert, one bite, no guilt feelings of gorging on too much chocolate and very light. These are a pleasant change from the normal desserts that are always prepared.   They were a hit with my guest. 

HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL MY FRIENDS

Ingredients
½ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter - homemade
¼ Cup Strawberry Crush

1/2 Teaspoon Gelatin

1 Tablespoon water
100 Grmas Dark Chocolate - melted for cups
50 Grams Milk Chocolate - melted for cups
Miniature chocolate cups
Peanut crunch for decoration

A drop of strawberry chocolate essence
Method

In a microwave proof bowl add the  chopped dark and milk choccolate and microwave for 30 seconds at a time till the chocolate melts.  Then  whisk it till  smooth add the essence and again whisk it till incorporate. 

Fill each cup with chocolate and keep it in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes till the chocolate just begins to set.  Take them from the fridge and empty it till a thick coating remains on the sides and bottom (i.e till a cup is formed). 

Keep these cups back it in the fridge to chill till set/harden.

In the meantime lets prepare the jelly.

In a sauce pan add the water and sprinkle the gelatin , keep it aside for 10 minutes till the gelatin blooms. Now add the strawberry crush and mix well. Place this on very low flame and stir it continuously till the gelatin melts. Take off flame and let it cool lightly.

For the peanut crunch, I used peanut chikki which is crushed with a rolling pin.

Now take the cups out from the fridge and fill in peanut butter a 1/4 teaspoon each with a piping bag. Press the peanut butter lightly with a back of a spoon to flatten it.   Keep it in the fridge to set for 10 minutes.  

Then cover with strawberry jelly.

Sprinkle  peanut crunch.   Chill till set. Then store in the fridge. Serve .. peel the paper and enjoy the burst of flavors ... simply yum...
