Sponge cake with chocolate peanut buttercream frosting

All hand mixed due to lack of power tools. Whipping frosting with a hand whisk is an absolute b-word :marseytabletired:

Frosting was the choice of cake recipient, I'm a plain jam kind of gyaldem when I do it for myself

I am apparently not great at smoothing frosting with a small butter knife but god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers so :marseyshrug:

Secret ingredient is light brown sugar to make it blend better with the cocoa and peanut butter notes in the frosting

I like a little PB and honey on a wrap with banana. It's a great breakfast.

I don't like mixing choco and pb, but I get why people enjoy it

I don't get why people put it in porridge or smoothies. It does nothing for them.

I agree but it wasn't my birthday and the recipient likes it. I tend to stay away from peanut butter because I find it cloying when it's concentrated (mob kitchen's 30 minute peanut butter bowls are great though)

Although I did try to keep it down - besides using unsweetened natural PB I also threw in a healthy dose of cocoa and no extra sugar besides the stuff for buttercream, I think it came out reasonably well
