Whenever I am hungry and need a quick bite, I make myself a nutella and peanut butter sandwich. And the world is good 🙂 Chocolate and peanut butter is an awesome combination.
Utilizing this combo, I made a swirl icing for this chocolate cake. A Swirl icing is the easiest way to present a cake. The decorated cake looks as if a lot of effort has been put in it 😉
The cake recipe used for this chocolate and peanut butter swirl cake has condensed milk in it and is eggless too 🙂 This is also a single bowl recipe and results in a moist and dense chocolate cake. I am all for easy and quick recipes!!
Ingredients

Now for the chocolate and peanut butter swirl icing
Make Chocolate Ganache by pouring 100 gms hot cream over 250 gms chopped dark chocolate. Let it rest for 5 minutes before mixing to a smooth mix.
Pour the ganache over the cooled chocolate cake.
Now for the peanut butter swirl
Combine 2 tbsp of peanut butter with ¾ tbsp. of unsalted butter and 1 tbsp of caster sugar. Mix to a smooth mix.
Drop spoonfuls over the iced cake and create swirls with a toothpick. Voila!!
