225 gr/8 oz/1 cup unsalted butter, softened

225 gr/8 oz/1 2/3 cups smooth or chunky peanut butter (aku pake yg smooth/creamy)

200 gr/7 oz/ scant 1 cup granulated sugar (aku pake 100 gr aja)

225 gr/8 oz/1 1/4 cups soft light brown sugar (aku pake 125 gr aja)

5 eggs

225 gr/8 oz/ 2 cups plain flour

10 ml/2 tsp baking powder

2,5 ml/1/2 tsp salt

120 ml/\1/2 cups milk

50 gr/2 oz/1/3 cup chocolate chip (aku pake chocolate chip yg kecil-kecil banget)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze:

25 gr/1 oz/2 tbsp butter, cut up

30 ml/2 tbsp smooth peanut butter

45 ml/3 tbsp golden syrup

5 ml/1 tsp vanilla essence

175 gr/6 oz plain chocolate, chopped into small pieces

15 ml/ 1 tbsp water

Method:

1. preheat oven to 180 deg C/350 deg F. generously grease and flour a 3 litre/5 pint/12 cup tube or ring tin. melt the chocolate, in a large mixing bowl beat the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and creamy. add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

2. in a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. add to the butter mixture alternately with the milk until just blended. pour half of the mixture to another bowl. stir the melted chocolate into one bowl of batter until well blended. stir the chocolate chip into the other bowl of batter.

3. using a large spoon, drop alternate spoonfuls of chocolate mixture and peanut butter mixture into the prepared tin. using a knife (aku pake sumpit), pull through the batters to create a swirled marbled effect. bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top spring back when touched. cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes. turn out on to a rack to cool completely.

4. make the glaze. combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. melt over a low heat, stirring until well blended and smooth. cool slightly. when slightly thickened, drizzle the glaze over the cake, allowing it to run downg the sides.
