PEANUT BARS
Ingredients Cake Ingredients: 1 cup sugar
Frosting Ingredients:
1 ½ cups powdered sugar ¾ cup butter 3 tablespoons cream Ground peanuts (for rolling)
2 eggs (separate yolks and whites) 1 cup cream 1 1/2 cups flour (mix ½ cake flour and ½ regular flour) 3 teaspoons baking powder
Rose Ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar ½ cup butter ½ cup margarine 4 tablespoons cream Ground peanuts (for rolling)
½ teaspoon salt Vanilla (to taste)
Instruction Make the Cake: Preheat the oven to 250°F. Beat the egg yolks and whites separately. Add sugar and vanilla to the beaten yolks, then beat in the cream. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yolk mixture. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites to the batter. Pour the batter into a greased glass cake pan (7 1/2 x 12 inches). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once baked, cut the cake into 1 1/4-inch wide pieces. Make the Frosting: In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, butter, and cream until smooth. Spread the frosting over each cake piece. Make the Rose Frosting: Mix the powdered sugar, butter, margarine, and cream in a bowl. This frosting is a slightly different texture and flavor. Frost the pieces of cake with this mixture if you prefer it over the first frosting or use both depending on taste. Roll in Ground Peanuts: Grind peanuts before shelling and then roll each frosted cake piece in the ground peanuts to coat. Serve: Let the bars set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
