It is Father's Day today. This edition of Weekend Baking Session pays a tribute to fatherhood. To celebrate the day, I baked a peanut butter cake because hubby loves peanuts and peanut butter. Frosted the cake with chocolate icing as chocolate makes the best pair with any nuts.
Peanut Butter Cake
What do we need:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 peanut butter
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
How do we do it:
Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda together. Set aside.
Beat butter, peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Stir in vanilla essence. Fold in the sifted flour mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour.
Pour batter into a greased and lined 7 inches round pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 175° C for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Fill and cover the cake with your favourite frosting. Decorate as per desired.
Happy Father's Day To All The Fathers

Annita~ Thank u very much. I used a palette knife.
Sumi~ Merci. Tatz a very good question.
Baking Soda: It is purely bicarbonate of soda. It creates carbon dioxide when itz mixed with liquid and acidic ingredients eg. yoghurt, citrus juices, vinegar, honey or chocolate.
Baking Powder: A mixture of bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar (tartaric acid). It reacts to liquid & heat.
Hope tat helps.
Pushpa
You have a wonderful blog with very different recipes. I especially love your cake section. You seem to be an excellent baker. Is there a substitute for cream of tartar
