    Here in Germany Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches are not that common – unlike the U.S. ;) As far as I know, kids in America grow up only eating PB&J sandwiches… just kidding! But I heard they are quite popular. Probably like our “Käsebrot” ;) Well… maybe one day the mix of sweet and salty will find it’s way into German kitchens. I like it a lot – that’s why I made this little fella here: a tiny little Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Cake! ;)

    When it comes to baking I always try new things. That can be new techniques, flavor combinations or new ingredients in general. Fried chocolate bars? Been there, done that ;) Baking a cake in a pan instead of an oven? Sure. Using toast to make a cake? Well… ;)

    The name of the cake today is not just a name I have chosen to represent the flavors of the cake – like a Tiramisu Cake that has the flavors but is not actually a tiramisu ;) This cake here is not just inspired by PB&J sandwiches – the cake is made with PB&J sandwiches :P I think a regular cake with just a jam filling and some peanut butter buttercream would have been too boring. Making a cake with actual toast is much more fun…

    In collaboration with Brunch* I already published some recipes (like these Easy Sunday Bread Rolls). Their relatively new product Brunch Buttrig-Frisch* is a spread you can eat with your bread /toast/bread rolls (or you can use for baking and cooking) that tastes like butter but has only half the amount of fat (and calories) regular butter has. I used it in this recipe so the cake is actually a bit “lighter” than it would be with regular ingredients. That’s a good thing, right? ;)

    I used regular pre-sliced toast from the supermarket and cut off the edges (which you can totally use to make Croûtons). I’ve also seen toast that is sliced and where the crust is already cut off – that would save some time if you use that one ;) A regular white French bread should also work here. Well… all you got to do is make the PB&J sandwiches, roll them up and cover everything with frosting, decorate and enjoy. It’s really easy ;)

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. For the frosting add fat and peanut butter to a large bowl and mix until well combined and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and confectioners’ sugar and mix slowly, then on high speed until you get a nice and creamy frosting. If the mix is too thick, add some heavy cream and mix in until you get the desired consistency.

    2. Cut off the edges of the toast (you can use that to make croutons for a salad or soup). Make sure all of the slices have the same size. Spread jam/marmalade on each slice of bread, then top with some of the frosting (or the other way round). Roll up the first slice to get a tight roll, then add one slice of bread after another to extend that roll – start adding the new slice at the end of the previous one. I needed 7 slices to get the size I wanted. You can add more and make a bigger cake. If you make it bigger, keep in mind you need more frosting. When you got the size you want, coat the whole cake with a thin layer of frosting, smooth out the sides and top and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Spread more frosting on the cake and create a clean and smooth surface (keep some frosting for the decoration later). Place it in the fridge for another 30 minutes.

    3. For the decoration add the remaining peanut butter frosting to a piping bag with star tip and decorate the top the way you like. Add the jam/marmalade on top and sprinkle the sides with chopped peanuts. Place the cake again in the fridge for about 2 hours or longer before serving.

    1. Für das Frosting das Fett mit der Erdnussbutter in einer großen Schüssel luftig aufschlagen, bis sich beides gut verbunden hat. Vanille Extrakt und Puderzucker dazugeben und erst langsam, dann auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis eine cremige Masse entstanden ist – ggf. noch etwas Sahne dazugeben und unterschlagen, falls die Masse zu fest ist.

    2. Die harten Ränder der Toastbrotscheiben abschneiden (kann man noch prima zu Croûtons verarbeiten und in einen Salat geben) – dabei darauf achten, dass alle Scheiben die gleiche Größe haben. Jede Scheibe zuerst mit Marmelade und dann mit ein wenig Frosting bestreichen (oder andersrum). Die Toastscheiben sollten bis zu den Rändern beschmiert sein. Um die Torte zu formen eine Scheibe aufrollen und dann die nächsten beschmierten Toastscheiben an das Ende der vorherigen Scheibe anlegen und so eine immer größer werdende Rolle Formen. Bei mir war nach 7 Scheiben Schluss, weil ich eine kleine Torte machen wollte – theoretisch kann man aber auch eine größere Torte aufrollen. Ihr braucht dann am Ende nur mehr Buttercreme. Die Torte mit einer dünnen Schicht Frosting einschmieren und dann für 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen. Danach dann eine weitere Schicht Frosting auftragen (etwas für die Dekoration übrig lassen) und erneut 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    3. Zum Dekorieren das übrig gebliebene Frosting in einen Spritzbeutel füllen und Tupfen auf die Torte spritzen. Auf der Torte etwas Marmelade zwischen den Tupfen verteilen und dann den Rand der Torte mit gehackten Erdnüssen dekorieren. Bis zum Servieren am besten noch einmal 2 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen.
