Triple Decker Peanut Butter Jelly Cake

6/5/2015

Comments

 
Today I want to thank everyone who voted for Barking Baking in the Virgin Challenge; we had an amazing response  and got 0ver 70 votes in just a matter of hours. Thank you! The story is not over, however! Virgin's site kept crashing (as you might have noticed) and so, realising that this cost people lots of votes, they are reopening the competition on 18th May at 10am. We have to get 549 votes to get through. I believe this is totally doable given how well we did yesterday. 

So, please share the link: http://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/pitch-to-rich/new-things/the-barking-baking-company/ which will go live on 18th at 10am and will close at 5pm on 20th May. Get everyone in your family to sign it. It would be amazing if we got through. 

NOW. Onto this rather splendid creation. Triple decker!? That's just awesome. You don't even need a whisk.

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 50g butter
  • 3 pudding spoons (fairly heaped) self raising flour
  • 3 pudding spoons caster sugar
  • 1 egg


For the icing:

  • 1 pudding spoon icing sugar
  • A fork of peanut butter (ie just scoop some out with a fork)
  • A tiny bit of water (probably a teaspoon)
  • Jam


Method

For the cake

Line two ramekins with baking paper and get the oven to 180.

Pop the butter, sugar and flour in a bowl; if the butter is a bit solid, just let it melt in the microwave for 10 secs at high power. Add in the egg and beat everything up with a fork until it is smooooooth. 

Divide the mix between the two ramekins and get them in the oven for about 20 mins - watch them and after 15 mins you may need to cover them with tin foil to prevent them burning. Check they are cooked by stabbing (gently) one with a knife; if it comes out clean then you are done.

For the icing:

Whilst the cake is in the oven, fork out the peanut butter and pop it in a mug. Add the icing sugar and a little water and then stir like made with a fork until it resembles a paste. Get the jam ready but do nothing with it.

Assembly

When the cakes come out, take them out of the hot ramekins and let them cool - if you are desperate to eat them, as I was, pop them outside on the ground for about a minute to cool them faster (obviously keeping them in their baking paper pouches for this).

When they have cooled sufficiently, take the cake out of the baking paper and cut both in half. Now sandwich each piece of cake (that you just cut up) back together with JUST jam. And then sandwich the two cakes with the peanut butter icing and a little jam. So it should go: cake, jam, cake, peanut butter icing, jam, cake, jam, cake. Phewww. 

Top with icing and try and eat it elegantly. Or do an Ed Miliband.
