Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degree C/ 350 degree F.  Grease an 8 inch round cake tin and line the base and side with baking paper.  Soften 45 g of the butter and add 1/3 cup of brown sugar to it.  Mix until smooth and creamy.  Spread it over the base of the tin.  Arrange the peanut halves, flat sides up over this mixture.  Mix flour with baking powder and salt.  Combine the remaining butter and sugar in a bowl.  Add eggs one at a time and beat with an electric beater. Add vanilla essence.  Fold in the flour, alternating with milk.  Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.  Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake.  Set aside for 15 minutes and then turn onto a serving plate.  Yummy ‘Peanut Butterscotch Cake’ can be served warm or cold.

  13. Dear Lissie Auntie,
    I tried this out yesterday as it was my hubby’s birthday. Instead of peanuts I used cashew and tried my chocolate cake. It was wonderful! I knew only to make simple cakes, this looked very grand and special. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Love,
    Priya.

  14. Dear Priya,

    Thank you so much for trying out the cake! It was a wonderful idea to use cashew butterscotch on chocolate cake! Did you use my chocolate cake recipe? Now a days I don’t use icing on my cakes for health reasons…

    love,
    Lissie

  15. This looks gr8 ! but aunty, can i substitute a mixture of 1 1/4 cups of sugar+one tbsp of molasses 4 brown sugar?

  16. Hi Certina,

    Try it your way and see the outcome. You can also use 1 1/3 cup of regular sugar instead of brown sugar.

    All the best,

    Lissie
