Peanut Butter Chocolate Marble Cake | Vegan Richa #vegan #peanutbutter #chocolate #cake #veganricha

Some Days I just want my chocolate fix which isn’t all chocolate. And this Peanut Butter Chocolate Marble Cake hits the spot. The cake is more a quick bread with just the right amount of sweet (mild) from coconut sugar. I added some chocolate chips for an additional chocolate+sweet boost. The soft, moist, buttery slices make a great snack, breakfast or dessert with some whipped coconut cream or ice cream! 

The cake is easy and uses just 2 bowls. Mix the wet in one, dry in one. Combine to make batter. Divide the batter into 2, add cocoa to one and nut butter like peanut, almond, hazelnut to the other. Marble and bake! For a Gluten-free option see This Gluten-free Nut Butter Chocolate Marble Loaf. 

Some chit chat about blogging. The other day, someone asked me about what do I do the whole day. Well, let me see. Recipe development, photography, editing, some more editing, some more cooking for dinner, editing photos, research, marketing the book, writing to brands and magazines, keeping the blog updated, social media, some more social media, comments, blog back-end stuff, some more tech stuff, keeping a tab on all the ad network so they don’t let non vegan ads slip by, more book stuff, articles, and there is lots more, you get the picture. Just the other day we added caching (sitelock) to the blog and now the html attributes like title on the blog are not getting detected. Oh well, the weekend has been scheduled for debugging. And a reminder to self to schedule some eye exercising time in the day. What’s your plan for the weekend?

Cooking and eating all the food, and watching everyone of you cook, eat and love the food too is of course the most awesome part.

  4. Alessia says:

    Wow this cake looks amazing. So surprised it doesn’t need vinegar to rise. Could i use only plain flour? Does anyone have the doses for a 9×5 loaf pan? Can’t wait to try it!!!

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      only plain will be fine in this recipe – and same amounts for 9X5

    Thankyou 🙂
