A hole lotta love

First up: Chocolate and Peanut Butter bundt cake. 

I know, the old faithful is back out again...but everyone loves PB! Plus, there's a hole in the middle, so the fun levels are instantly higher. 

What you'll need:
-A bundt cake tin. If you can't find one, it doesn't actually matter. If you'd like a hole in the middle, but can't find a tin, improv with a tin of beans in the middle of a normal tin. 
-3 eggs
-6oz caster sugar
-6oz butter
-6oz self-raising flour
-a heap load of cocoa powder
-3tsp of crunchy peanut butter
-1/4tsp of baking powder. 

The baking of: 
-Pre-heat your oven to 170c
-In a large bowl: cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, add the: flour, c.powder + b.powder. Then fold in the peanut butter. Mix together until you've got a nice thick, creamy batter. Pour the batter into the greased tin and bake for approx. 30mins. Or until it springs back on top and is dry in the middle. 
-Leave to cool and then ice. Silly me though, I didn't have any icing sugar. I would of done a chocolate glacier icing though. So for that you'l need:
-4oz icing sugar, 1 or 2 tbsp of hot water, 3tbsp of cocoa powder. Drizzle on the cake and tuck in!

N.B: The nuts in the peanut butter go all crispy, and taste sooo much better when cooked.
