Easy Chocolate Recipes : Marbled Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cake

Marbled Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cake

This cake cannot be tested with a cake tester because the peanut butter remains soft in the centre. Rely on the fingertip method: the cake should spring back when touched after 50-60 minutes.

Serves 12-14

115 g / 4 oz plain chocolate, chopped
225 g / 8 oz / 1cup unsalted butter, softened
