Peanut Butter Moist Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup yogurt
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ½ cup hot water

For Soaking the Cake

• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping (Optional)

• Powdered sugar
• Peanut butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a cake pan.
2. Sift the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until smooth and evenly combined.
5. Add the peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated.
6. Pour in the hot water and mix once more. The batter will be quite thin, which is perfectly normal.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30–35 minutes.
8. Once the cake has been removed from the oven, combine the milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture evenly over the warm cake. Allow the cake to cool at room temperature so that it can fully absorb the liquid.
9. Slice and serve once cooled. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar and decorate with peanut butter.

Enjoy!
