Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake

November 1, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Its either one of those things you love or hate, for me there was nothing better than a peanut butter and jam sandwich growing up. Even now as a adult it still tastes like a flashback of my childhood. So why can’t we take these elements and turn them into a cake.

You may already know that not just any peanut butter will do, so my go to would definitely have to be the peanut butter range by Fix & Fogg. There is also nothing better than supporting a genuine local business who pride themselves in what they do. With a selection of different varieties, you really need to try Fix & Fogg.

Here is my recipe drawing upon the elements of a peanut butter and jam sandwich, turning it into a cake for any occasion! This cake is made up of soft peanut butter sponge, layered with strawberry jam and covered in more amazing peanut butter buttercream. You need to try this, or get someone to make it for you!

You’ll need:

2 x 20cm Round Spring-Form Cake Tins

Serves: 14-16 Slices
Ingredients
  • Cake
  • 375g Self Raising Flour
  • 375g Caster Sugar
  • ¾ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • 405g Butter - Softened
  • 150g Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoon Milk
  • 500g Jar of Jam

  • Buttercream
  • 300g Butter
  • 120g Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 540g Icing Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoon Milk
Instructions
  1. To start, line or grease two 20cm round baking tins and flick your oven onto 170°c, fan bake.
  2. In a free-standing mixer sift the dry ingredients, then add in the butter, peanut butter and eggs.
  3. Beat on a medium to high speed for about a minute or until all nicely combined.
  4. On a slow speed, add the milk before giving the mixer a final blast for about 30 seconds.
  5. Evenly pour the mixture across your two baking tins, then place them in the centre of your oven at the same level.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, then cover with tin foil to stop the tops from darkening too much. Return to the oven and continuing baking for another 20-25 minutes until skewer comes out clean
  7. Leave cakes to cool slightly before turning out onto a cooling rack.
  8. Cut the two cakes in half using either a sharp knife or a cake cutter. I like to let them cool slightly before doing this so it’s not to soft.
  9. You should now have four layers where you can start spreading jam in between. For each layer I used about 4 large spoonfuls of jam.
  10. I like to top the final layer of the cake with an upside down base sections, this makes it easier and flat to ice later on.
  11. While the cake is resting, let's move on to the buttercream. Place the butter and smooth peanut butter in to a free-standing mixer and beat for 5 minutes.
  12. Scrape down the sides and sift in half the measure of icing sugar, beat for another 3 minutes.
  13. Add final measure for icing sugar and beat for another 3 minutes.

This just in, I made all of these ones myself. Also, If you saw on the telly, @griffinsbiscuits featured on an episode of TVNZ 2’s Snack Masters, where the iconic ToffeePops took centre stage for the food gurus to recreate this kiwi classic. 

Griffins challenged me to try making them from the comfort of my own home too, consider it ‘Snack Masters at Home - Dane Edition’. Obviously I accepted the challenge to recreate their ToffeePops here at home and I’m pretty impressed with how they turned out.

Now if you have a craving for ToffeePops, it’s also good to know their perfectly proportioned bikkies are still kiwi made and smothered in 5 roll refined and Rainforest alliance certified chocolate. Now that’s worth all that toffee goodness!

How much do you love ToffeePops?
