Why make this recipe

Peanut Butter and Jam Marble Cake Traybake is a delightful treat that combines two classic flavors: creamy peanut butter and sweet jam. This cake is perfect for sharing at parties, gatherings, or simply enjoying during your afternoon tea. Its soft, moist texture and beautiful marbled appearance make it a hit with both kids and adults. Plus, it’s easy to make and requires simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen!

How to make Peanut Butter and Jam Marble Cake Traybake

Ingredients

250g unsalted butter
250g granulated sugar
4 large eggs
250g all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
100g creamy peanut butter
150g jam (strawberry or grape)
Pinch of salt
Milk (as needed)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a traybake tin.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix until just combined.
Divide the batter into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the peanut butter until well combined.
In the other bowl, add a few spoonfuls of jam and swirl gently to create a marble effect.
Alternately spoon the peanut butter and jam mixtures into the tin.
Use a knife to swirl the batters together for a marbled look.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin before slicing into squares and serving.

How to serve Peanut Butter and Jam Marble Cake Traybake

This cake is best served warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it plain or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on the side. It also makes a perfect snack with tea or coffee.

How to store Peanut Butter and Jam Marble Cake Traybake

Tips to make Peanut Butter and Jam Marble Cake Traybake

Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking for the best texture.
Don’t over-mix the batter after adding the flour; mix until just combined for a light cake.
Feel free to experiment with different jams or even chocolate spread for a unique twist.

Variation

You can replace peanut butter with almond butter for a nutty flavor. You can also add chocolate chips to the batter for an extra chocolatey treat!

FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy peanut butter?
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter. Just make sure to stir it well before adding it to the batter as it can be thicker than creamy peanut butter.

What type of jam works best for this recipe?
Strawberry and grape jams are traditional choices, but you can use any flavor you like, such as raspberry, apricot, or even a mixed berry jam.
