Vegan vegan cake peanut butter layer cake Peanut Butter Cup chocolate peanut butter

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 180c and lightly grease your cake tins. I've used two 20cm
loose bottom cake tins here.
2 In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, peanut butter and sugar, then beat
together until well combined. Whisk in your milk mixture.
3 Fold your dry ingredients into the batter and divide this between your two cake
tins. Pop into the oven for 30-35 minutes to bake.
4 Once your cakes are cooked through, allow to cool on a wire wrack whilst you
prepare the frosting.
5 Using an electric whisk, beat the butter until light and fluffy, then gradually
incoorporate your icing sugar and finally, the peanut butter.
6 Spread a generous layer of the frosting onto one of the cakes and carefully
sandwich the other on top.
7 Divide the remaining buttercream in half and beat the cocoa powder into one
half. Spread the icing over the entire cake (chocolate on the bottom), then
smooth over using a palette knife to create an ombré effect.
