Marmite Choconut Cakes

I never thought Marmite could go into something sweet and I certainly couldn’t have imagined that a few of my not so Marmitey friends would even try them (let alone enjoy them!). Now I’ve even got some orders

The new Marmite Chocolate will be available from shops tomorrow and I can’t wait to try it, but if you thought that the chocolate idea is ‘very peculiar’, you should try these:

Ingredients

• 600g soft margarine
• 600g caster sugar
• 5 heaped tsp of Marmite
• 200g cocoa powder
• 400g self raising flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 jar of peanut butter
• 300g icing sugar

In a large bowl cream together the sugar and margarine. When light in colour, beat in the Marmite. Mix the flour and cocoa powder together in another bowl. Add one egg at a time, and beat into the sugar and margarine with a little of the flour and cocoa mixture. Then, the remaining flour and cocoa should be gently folded into the mixture.

Once finished, grease a muffin tray and spoon in the mixture ( should make 12 cakes). Alternatively, use paper cake cases.

Cook at 180ºc for around 25 mins or until brown and cooked.

While the cakes are cooking, empty your peanut butter into a bowl and combine with the icing sugar.

Once the cakes have cooled, cover with the icing and enjoy.
