Method

1

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line the base of each cake tin with a circle of baking paper.

2

Sift the flour, caster sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl.

3

Measure the almond milk into a jug, add the cider vinegar and mix to combine – the milk will thicken. Add the oil and vanilla extract.

4

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, pour in the oil and milk mixture, add the peanut butter and whisk to combine. Continue mixing until smooth.

5

Divide the cake mixture evenly between the prepared tins and level with the back of a spoon.

6

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cakes have risen and a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean.

7

Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 3–4 minutes and then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave until cold.

8

Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Tip all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.

9

Place one cake on a serving plate and spread the top with half the frosting. Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining frosting over the top, spreading it smoothly with a palette knife.

10

Scatter with roughly chopped peanuts and dark chocolate shavings to serve.
