Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (24 cm) round cake pan.
- 2
Place the eggs, milk, sugar, and oil in a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and combined.
- 3
Add the sifted flour and blend again until you get a lump-free, homogeneous batter.
- 4
Add the baking powder and crushed roasted peanuts. Pulse briefly just to incorporate — you want to keep some peanut texture.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 6
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Chef's Tip
Scatter a handful of whole roasted peanuts on top of the batter before baking — they caramelize beautifully and add an extra crunch to the golden crust.
