Step 1: First up, pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4 and grease and base line two 8” round cake tins with grease-proof paper.
Step 2: Then, we’re going to get straight into it, placing the brown sugar, plain flour, Dr. Oetker Cocoa Powder, Dr. Oetker Baking powder and Dr. Oetker Bicarbonate of Soda into a large mixing bowl. But wait! We’re not going to mix yet.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and Dr. Oetker vanilla extract then slowly whisk in the soya milk to form a paste.
Step 4: Add your new peanut mixture to the dry ingredients and it’s time to gently fold it all together with a spatula until thick and smooth. Happy with your consistency? Divide the cake mix evenly between the two prepared tins & smooth out the top.
Step 5: Pop both tins into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Step 6: There’s no time to waste! Whilst the cake bakes, let’s crack on with the caramel. Place all the ingredients except the non-dairy spread into a heavy based, medium sized saucepan and bring to a rolling boil (a hot, quick boil with plenty of bubbling) whilst stirring continuously.
Step 7: Boil for just a minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the non-dairy spread and allow to cool completely.
Step 8: Once baked, leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9: Now for the fun bit! Break up the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and pop in the microwave for 20 second bursts, stirring in between, until melted.
Step 10: Whilst that’s melting away, line a baking tray with baking parchment and pour the popcorn onto the tray.
Step 11: Then, when the chocolate’s melted, use a teaspoon to drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn as generously as you like. Chill in the fridge until set.
Step 12: Whilst the popcorn chills, place the Dr. Oetker Vanilla Buttercream icing into a mixing bowl along with the peanut butter, and fold through with a spatula.
Step 13: Place one of the cakes onto a serving dish and smooth over with half of the buttercream mix, before drizzling over a couple of spoonfuls of caramel. Place the second cake on top and finish with the remaining buttercream and caramel drizzle.
Step 14: Top with a scattering (or careful positioning if you prefer things neat) of chocolate popcorn to finish.
Step 15: Ta-dah! You’ve piled up the perfect picture of vegan indulgence. Chocked full of chocolate and caramel - this cake will technically keep in a cake tin for up to 4 days … but we’ve got a feeling it won’t be around for that long!
For a bit of nostalgia whilst baking – why not opt for microwave popcorn. The anticipation of watching each kernel pop will take you straight back to your childhood!
