Chocolate and Peanut Butter Marble Cake

I have to tell you right away that this chocolate and peanut butter marble cake recipe was clearly inspired by my friend Céline with her chocolate and praline cake. Of course, I customized it and made my own version because I am unable to follow a recipe anyway. That’s the last straw for a food blogger, don’t you think! That’s why my man is the one who usually takes care of the pastry, he has to be too precise and I like to invent, add… 😉

Well, after 3 tests to perfect my version, here it is, and I can tell you that it was tested and approved by 6 children (4 years old and 2 years old) for the birthday party of my little boy. We would have loved to have some for breakfast the next day, but…, it was all gone.

You will also see in the recipe that I offer 2 versions, one with peanut butter and one plain with butter 😉

I also always thought that it was complicated to make a marble cake but I don’t know why. It is not, it is of a disconcerting simplicity because in fact, it is enough to separate the paste in 2, to add the chocolate to the one and then one pours a big spoon of each preparation in the cake mould, by alternating them. I feel that this winter, the marble cake will become a ritual and that I will vary the pleasures… 😉

Let’s get to work! I think there are a lot of kids who are going to enjoy it this weekend! And don’t hesitate to share your cakes!

• 3 tablespoons milk
• 50 g chocolate spread

• In the first bowl, add the vanilla sugar and mix.
• Gently melt the chocolate with the milk and pour into the mixture in the second bowl. Add the chocolate spread and mix until smooth and shiny.

  Butter and flour a cake tin.

  Bake for 35 minutes, and check with a knife blade to make sure it comes out clean.
