🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2½ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (150 g) coarsely crushed roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon (11 g) baking powder
  • Butter and flour for the pan

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (24 cm) round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Place the eggs, milk, sugar, and oil in a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and combined.

  3. 3

    Add the sifted flour and blend again until you get a lump-free, homogeneous batter.

  4. 4

    Add the baking powder and crushed roasted peanuts. Pulse briefly just to incorporate — you want to keep some peanut texture.

  5. 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. 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.
