Peanut Butter Cake, is it? Well, I've a recipe for a wheatless Peanut Butter Torte. Will that do?
In fact, you already have the recipe. Last year, SAJ posted the recipe for a wheatless chocolate torte (also happens to be Kosher, too). I can't find the dang thing by looking through your dandy virtual FR cookbook, kwap!
If you can locate this recipe, you can easily convert it to a Peanut Butter Torte (cake, whatever, although technically it IS a torte): swap equal amount of peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips in the recipe, and add two TBSP of smooth peanut butter. Other than that, just follow the recipe as is. Should work well (and has in the past)!
Not sure if the substitution de-Koshers the recipe or not.
Happy leguming (is that a word?) ;^)
Thanks! Will search for it.
Got it. Thanks, L27!
Wheatless Chocolate Torte, for our gluten-free friends
10 oz. bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup (6 oz.) unsalted butter or unsalted pareve margarine (for our friends who keep Kosher)
2 tsp vanilla extract
5 large eggs at room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9” springform pan and put a circle of parchment paper on the bottom.
In a heavy saucepan (a double boiler is better) on low or medium-low heat, combine the chocolate and butter, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. Turn heat to lowest setting or remove from heat entirely.
In a large bowl, combine eggs and sugar and beat at high speed for about 5 minutes or until mixture roughly triples in volume. Fold the chocolate/butter mixture into the egg/sugar mixture, gently but thoroughly.
Pour (and scrape) into springform pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. The top will form a light crust, and the torte is done when the traditional toothpick stuck into the centre comes out with JUST a bit of batter on it (if the toothpick is clean and dry, the torte is overbaked, sorry)
Remove from heat and run a small sharp knife around the edge of the pan, then let the torte cool. Top with berries and/or whipped cream and/or non-dairy whipping and/or anything else you like. Serves 10-12 (unless my friend Jerry Levin is there, in which case it MIGHT serve four, counting him...)
Mazel tov!
