Ingredients

  • 225 g Unsalted butter plus extra for greasing the tin
  • 225 g Caster sugar
  • 4 Free range eggs medium
  • 200 g Self raising flour
  • 25 g Good quality cocoa
  • A good pinch of sea salt
  • 50 g Dark chocolate chunks
  • 50 g Crunchy peanut butter
  • 50 g Salted peanuts

Instructions

  • Grease a loaf tin with butter. If you have some, line with baking parchment. Nothing too fiddly, I just cut one long strip that goes down one side, across the bottom and up the other side.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C.
  • Cream your room temperature butter with your sugar until it's pale, light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating really well after each egg. Don't worry if it starts to look a bit curdled, it'll all come good in a mo'.
  • Mix in your flour, cocoa and salt. If you've been using a mixer, do this bit by hand. It helps to keep the sponge light.
  • Stir in the chocolate chunks, the peanut butter and 30g of the salted peanuts. Just mix lightly, it's good to leave some chunks of peanut butter. You'll find them as a joyous surprise in the finished cake.
  • Spoon into a your tin, smooth out with the back of a spoon. Make a bit of a dip in the middle to account for rising. Sprinkle over the rest of your salted peanuts.
  • Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
