yep, all that in one glorious cake. the recipe is from nigella lawson, but it's not because of her recent troubles that i wanted to make it. i saw one of her shows sometime in april and decided this something one must try. but, can you believe, peanut butter is not a staple at our grocery stores, nor are chocolate chips! i managed recently to make a trip to behnford's to stock up some of these rarities.

not pretty, but once the machine had done its work the smooth silky ooey goodness...seriously, it was so good ate some just as is (ok, maybe a tiny bit more than "some"), definitely made sure there was something left in the bowl to be licked...
the recipe calls for one 23cm/9" tin, but i had planned to take some to work, leave some for certain someone and send some to his mom, so i divided the batter into 3 15cm/6" tins.
it had been a good idea to taste some of the filling as there was plenty for the smaller tins, and there was going to be a topping as well
did shorten the baking time a bit, this is after the first bake sans the topping.
the topping...yep, needed to lick this bowl too...
after the second bake. the smell was amazing but the cakes needed cooling down and a night in the fridge...
this one was left with certain someone, he had some with coffee from his favorite mug (from fishs eddy).
the cake needs refrigeration and therefore maybe isn't the best of summer treats.
i want to say something to the weather man. if you say it's going to be a rainy day, you better make sure it's a rainy day and not sunny and well above our normal summer temps. only a crazy person (or someone with air-conditioning) would heat the oven on a 27C/80F day. the indoor temp ended up being 31C with no relief from keeping the windows open all night.
