ingredients

For Peanut Butter Filling
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 3⁄4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1⁄4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
For Sponge Cake
- 1⁄2 cup 2% low-fat milk
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
-
For Chocolate Glaze
- 2⁄3 cup condensed milk
- 3⁄4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9 inch pie plate and place in a baking dish with a lip.
-
For Filling:
- Heat cream to just below a simmer.
- Beat remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Slowly beat in hot cream until evenly blended.
- Pour mixture into prepared pie plate and pour boiling water around pie plate (create a water bath).
- Bake 20-25 minutes until set.
- Let cool to room temperature then chill custard in pie plate completely.
-
For Cake:
- Grease a 9 inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
- Grease again and dust lightly with flour.
- Heat milk and butter until butter is melted and keep warm.
- Whip eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale yellow then add vanilla.
- Sift flour and baking powder together.
- Add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating on low until just blended.
- Increase speed to medium and pour in hot milk and butter mixture, mixing until just blended.
- Scrape into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre of cake comes out clean.
- Let cool 15 minutes then turn out onto plate, peel off parchment, then invert (so top is up) onto a rack to cool completely.
-
To assemble:
- Slice cake into 2 layers.
- Stir chilled custard to smooth and spread over bottom layer. (you'll want to work quickly so it doesn't melt, if it does begin to soften, I would place it in the fridge before putting the top layer on because the top layer will make it ooze everywhere).
- Top with second layer and chill while preparing glaze.
-
For Chocolate Glaze:
- Stir condensed milk and chocolate in a pot over medium low heat until melted and shiny.
- Spread glaze over cake.
- Chill until ready to serve.
