Milk Chocolate Cake with Peanut Chocolate Frosting

There’s something so comforting about a creamy milk chocolate cake paired with a rich peanut chocolate frosting. This recipe will show you how to create a smooth and silky milk chocolate cake topped with a crunchy, nutty frosting that leaves everyone craving more. Start by heating one litre of milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Wait until the milk is almost at its boiling point, but make sure it doesn’t boil over.

Break 200 grams of dark chocolate into small chunks and add them to the hot milk. Keep stirring the mixture to help the chocolate melt evenly and incorporate it into the milk. Once the chocolate has fully melted, add 100 grams of sugar and 10 grams of agar-agar to the saucepan. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the agar-agar is fully mixed in. Allow the mixture to reach a gentle boil while stirring continuously, then remove it from the heat.

Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into a glass mould. Use cling film to cover the top of the mould, ensuring the film touches the surface to prevent skin from forming. Let the cake cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill and solidify completely. While the cake is chilling, prepare the delicious peanut chocolate frosting. Break 100 grams of dark chocolate into small pieces in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

On a kitchen board, place 30 grams of peanuts and chop them into small chunks. Once your chocolate is melted, add 40 ml of vegetable oil to the bowl and mix well with a spatula until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chopped peanuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the melted chocolate. Once your chocolate cake has fully chilled and solidified, remove it from the refrigerator. Gently invert the cake onto a kitchen rack to remove it from the mould. Pour the melted chocolate peanut mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to coat the top and sides smoothly.

Place the cake back into the refrigerator for the chocolate coating to set. After the frosting has set completely, take the cake out of the refrigerator. Slice it into pieces, serve, and watch as your family or friends enjoy every bite of this milk chocolate cake with peanut chocolate frosting. The smoothness of the milk chocolate combined with the crunchiness of the peanuts creates a delightful texture that’s impossible to resist.
