🥜 Peanut Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the cake:

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

1 cup (200 g) sugar

1 cup (240 ml) milk

3 large eggs

1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter

1 cup (120 g) roasted, unsalted peanuts (finely ground)

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

For the topping (optional):

1/2 cup (100 g) sugar

1/4 cup (60 ml) milk

2 tbsp butter

1/2 cup (60 g) crushed peanuts

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a medium cake pan.

Prepare the batter:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil (or melted butter) until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla, and mix well.

Add the dry ingredients:
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground peanuts. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth.

Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Prepare the topping (optional):
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and butter. Bring to a boil and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and mix in the crushed peanuts.

Finish:
Pour the topping over the warm cake and let it cool completely before serving.
