  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Baking powder

  • 1/4 cup Peanut butter, your favorite kind 70g

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a long loaf pan with parchment or butter and sugar the sides. In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk all the wet ingredients together in a larger bowl. Sift the dry over the wet, mixing until just barely combined. Pour into loaf pans (no higher than 2/3 of the way up the pan) and bake about 20-25 minutes.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze

  • Melt the chocolate and butter together either over a double boiler or in the microwave until most of the chocolate has melted. Remove from heat and stir until all the chocolate has melted.
  • Cool the chocolate mixture for about 20 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter and spread over your cooled chocolate cake. Top with peanuts.
