#Bundtamonth : Peanut Butter Lime Jam Bundt Cake

So far, I've yet to bake something with peanut butter and when the organisers of Bundtamonth announced that the theme is 'Jammy November',  I surfed the net and located this recipe.  It's a recipe taken from the book 'Cake Simple' which was tried by 'Bake or Break'.  I used my favourite lime marmalade in this recipe but as I didn't put enough jam  according to the recipe, the jam swirls weren't so distinct, in fact there were no swirls at all :((  I reduced the jam as I didn't favour an overly sweet cake.  Nonetheless the lime flavour did go down well with the creamy peanut butter and it was good.









Recipe for Peanut Butter Lime Jam Bundt Cake (adapted from 'here' with modiciations)

    Ingredients

    • 10 oz plain flour
    • 1.1/2  tsp baking powder
    • 1  tsp bicarbonate of soda
    • a pinch of salt
    • 4 oz butter
    • 6.1/2 oz brown sugar (reduced from 3/4 cup sugar + 1.1/4 cups brown sugar)
    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 tsp vanilla
    • 1/4 cup lime marmalade (reduced from 3/4 cup)
    • Icing sugar to dust (optional)
    Method
    1. Prepare a 10 cup Bundt pan, greased and flour dusted.
    2. Sift flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, set aside.
    3. Cream butter with sugar till creamy, add in peanut butter and vanilla, mix well.
    4. Add eggs one at a time, mix well.
    5. Fold in flour in two batches, alternating with milk, start with flour and end with flour.
    6. Put half of the batter into the pan, spoon jam onto the batter taking care not to touch the sides of the pan.
    7. Cover with batter, repeat process.  Give the batter a gentle swirl with a knife or skewer.
    8. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 45 to 50 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
    9. Leave cake in pan to cool for about 20 mins. before unmoulding onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    10. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

    The cake looks stunning, Cheah. I would probably leave the jam out...

      I had to include the jam as it's for 'Jammy November'. I think it'll still taste good minus the jam.

    Beautiful bundt, Cheah. The combo of sweet peanut butter with lime marmalade must be fantastic. And in cake form? Even better. Right? =)

      Thank you. Sometimes we need to experiment with new combinations and see the result.

    Hi Cheah,
    Lovely bundt cake! I have this book and have just recently baked a cake from it. So far, all the bakes that I've tried have been great, the only thing is, I reduced the sugar for all the recipes that I've tried. I can see this cake is another winner.
    Thanks for sharing with CYB!
    Have a great weekend!

    I LOVE Cake Simple--highly recommend the whole book! I admit I would not have thought to try lime with peanut butter, but the more I think about it the tastier it sounds! Kind of a SE Asian vibe....

      I thought the combination would work well, lime marmalade is not too common, SE Asian vibe.... maybe!

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.

Braised Pork Ribs with Yam & Wood ear fungus

I bought this yam/taro from a wet market and the lady assured me that her yams are creamy when cooked.  She cut off a very small piece to justify her statement and true enough I saw some powdery substance on the knife.  It can be very frustrating when you end up getting a yam that's firm even when cooked for yams have a hardy taste with a minimal amount of sweetness.  But if you pair it up with some meat and fermented bean curd, the dish will be transformed into a tasty delicacy.
