Peanut Butter Cake
1.
To make peanut icing powder: Put the peanut kernels and white sugar into the grinding cup of the food processor, smash into powder, and become peanut icing powder. If it is raw peanuts, please put it in the preheated 170℃ oven, bake for 8-10 minutes until the aroma is roasted, and then use after cooling. It is recommended to break the outer skin (red coat) of the peanut kernels together, and the peanut icing powder obtained will have more color and texture. Make peanut heavy oil cake: After softening 125 grams of butter, add 115 grams of caster sugar (or powdered sugar) and beat with a whisk to make it fluffy and lighter in color. Break up the two eggs and add in 3-5 times. Each time, you need to stir until the egg and butter are completely fused before adding the next time. For more detailed steps, please refer to Figure 1-3 for making cappuccino cake. Sift the low-gluten flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix 45 grams of peanut icing sugar in the flour and mix well. Pour 30ML milk into the butter in step 2 (no need to stir). Pour the mixed flour into the butter from step 5
2.
Mix the flour and butter with a rubber spatula to form a fine, particle-free batter. Don't over-mix. Spread a layer of butter on the inside of the 6-inch cake mold, then pour the mixed cake batter into the cake mold, put it in the preheated 185 degree oven, and bake for about 45 minutes. The roasting temperature and time are for reference only, please adjust according to the actual situation. Insert a toothpick into the cake. After pulling it out, there is no residue on the toothpick, which means the cake is cooked. After being out of the oven, let it cool down for a while, then release the mold while it is hot, and then let it cool completely. While waiting for the cake to cool, we can make peanut butter. Whip the animal whipped cream (or non-dairy cream dessert cream) to a non-liquid state. (Because animal whipped cream does not contain sugar, friends who have a heavy taste can add some sugar and then whip it. Friends who have a light mouth do not need to add sugar.) After 90 grams of butter is softened, add 30 grams of powdered sugar and beat with a whisk Loose hair, bulky, and lighter in color. Add 135 grams of peanut butter and continue beating until fluffy. Pour the whipped cream into the butter from step 11
3.
Continue to beat with a whisk until it becomes a stable cream. The peanut butter is ready. Step 8 After the roasted peanut heavy oil cake has cooled completely, flatten the top and then cut it in half. Take a slice of cake, spread a thick layer of peanut butter evenly on the surface, and then cover with another slice of cake. Spread the top and sides of the cake with peanut butter. The surface does not need to be too flat. Sprinkle the remaining peanut sugar powder on the surface and sides of the cake, and it's done. When eating, just cut the cake into 8 pieces
Tips:
1. When making peanut icing powder, because different peanuts have different oil content, if it is a peanut with a larger oil content, you need to increase the amount of white sugar, otherwise it will not be powdered. Be careful, don't try to reduce the amount of sugar, otherwise it is very likely that the peanut sugar powder will not be peanut butter, but peanut butter;
2. Many people ask the difference between white granulated sugar and fine granulated sugar. Granulated sugar is a kind of white granulated sugar with finer grains. White granulated sugar has different divisions according to the particle size, such as coarse granulated sugar, medium granulated sugar, fine granulated sugar, fine granulated sugar and so on. When making peanut sugar powder, all kinds of white granulated sugar can be used. But if it is stated in the formula that fine granulated sugar is required, coarse granulated sugar cannot be used;
3. The cake is recommended to be stored in the refrigerator, which can be stored for a longer time. But because the butter hardens when it is refrigerated. So after this cake is made, if you put it in the refrigerator, both the cake body and the peanut butter will become very hard. You need to take it out to warm it up in advance when you eat it.
