Updated on Nov 15, 2011

When I was little, my mom used to bake us delicious cakes. I enjoyed the great smell and taste. Being around her at that time got me interested in baking and now that I’m grown up I practice baking thanks to the influence I had when I was little. I want my children to have the same experience I had, so I bake them the flavors they love. Knowing they love peanut butter, I decided to bake something with the good flavor of peanut butter with a little mix of Mexican tradition. The combination turned out to be a wonderful idea, which my children truly enjoy.

How To Make peanut butter cake - flan

  • Step 1
    PREHEAT THE OVEN AT 350ºF. Grease a floured one 12"x4" bound cake pan. Pour the caramel into the prepared pan.
  • Step 2
    Sift the flour three times and add the baking soda, baking powder and sift again one more time.
  • Step 3
    In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the oil, peanut butter, eggs, salt and sugar until you reach a fluffy consistency. Add the flour in thirds and mix well. Pour into the pan.
  • Step 4
    For the flan: In a blender, mix all ingredients together. (Or use a large bowl and a whisk.) Pour into the pan (over cake batter.)
  • Step 5
    If you don't have a Bain Marie (bano maria), you can make your own by placing the bundt pan into a larger pan filled with water. Bake the cake for around 2 hours (no less than 2 hours because the cake and the flan need that time to bake well.)
  • Step 6
    Unmold the cake when it has cooled down (when you can safely touch the pan with your hands.) I JUST WANT TO SAY, I SHARE WITH YOU THIS RECIPE WITH ALL MY LOVE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
