Chocolate Brownie Cake with Raspberries and Peanut Butter

Gooey and well risen, this chocolate brownie cake with raspberries and peanut butter will definetely make you forget you’re on a vegan diet.

An explosion of flavours will accompany every mouthfull of this dessert, perfect for any occasion, from breakfast to afternoon teas.

I used a 7 inches round tin to achieve the cake look, but if you prefere making brownies all you need to do is to use a wider and rectangular container.

Also, this recipe works really well if you fancy baking regular chocolate brownies (just omit peanut butter and raspberries).

If you like cake and desserts don’t miss this Brioche Swirl Cake, or this Zesty Lemon Cake!

Finally, I just wanted to mention that this is my very first post on the “a Veg Taste from A to Z” blog, first published on the 22nd July 2018! 
So, even though these pictures don’t look very professional and clear, I decided to keep this post as it is, so both you (and myself) can see how I’ve grown in the course of time. It think it’s fun!

To support me, I’d appreciate as little as a simple like on Facebook and a follow on Instagram @avegtastefromatoz! Thank all of you that will take the time to visit my social pages! 

Now to the recipe, hope you’ll enjoy it!
