I prepared this recipe for my birthday cake. It was spectacular!! My family loved the mix of flavors, especially the taste of the frosting. A total success.

In reply to Jennifer. Hi! The 8-inch cake pans won't take as long because the cakes are not as dense, so the listed bake times for each pan size are correct. Let me know how they turned out!

I made the cake using 2 8″ pans. The instructions say 20-30 minutes if using the 8″ pans. I figured this time was way off but I went ahead. After 25 minutes, the toothpick test was clean so I took them out to cool. About 10 minutes later I checked on them and they weren’t firm in the middle. I read the instructions closer and realized the times for the 6 and 8″ pans must be mixed up. They’re back in the oven. I hope they turn out ok; a lot of expensive ingredients here.

In reply to Margaret. Yes, cupcakes should work! I would check them around 15 minutes.

I don’t have a cake pan. Can I make these into muffins, and how long should I bake them for?

This cake is delicious! I haven’t made the frosting, for me it’s breakfast on the go or snack cake. I have made it as written, using crunchy peanut always (before making adjustments). This time I used peanut flour instead of almond flour (shell monkey nuts (peanuts) in a spice grinder until flour forms), with homemade coconut flour (made a greasy cake but still delicious! *I found out later that coconut flour is actually coconut pulp, not simply dried coconut whoops!). I don’t do much GF baking (not being allergic) but I love nuts, and it’s amazing to make a bake with nut flours, so nut is the star flavour not spices. And variety is the spice of life (?). Anyway thank you so much for sharing!

I used 2.5 cups of gluten free flour instead and added 1 tsp of baking powder and 1.25 top of xanthan gum and it turned out fine. Tastes more like the texture of banana bread rather than cake. And I used crunchy natural peanut butter as well cuz that’s what I had.

In reply to Melinda. So happy to hear that! The color of the frosting in the photos is pretty beige / light brown if you check out the first photo (some of them the lighting just makes it look whiter!)

I just made this for my daughter’s birthday cake and it was delicious!! 🙂

Only other comment is that the icing in the pictures is very white! I used half the amount of peanut butter and subbed cream cheese for the other half (solely because I wanted to get rid of some cream cheese I had). It tasted great, but was definitely light brown (not white), and I assume it would have been even darker brown if I had used the full amount of peanut butter.
