Sounds more spongey gardie. Hopefully lyan will get back to you.

But I didn't think peanuts would be spongy rather make it quite a heavy cake.Hmmm I wonder.May have to try it, I don't think peanuts are too expensive and it would be a great gluten free cake (I think).

Yes, but peanuts are finely minced so would only be traces of them through the cake.

the old peanut cake is highly recommended to help boast your milk supply when breast feeding.

The peanut cake is delicious. I used to make it often many moons ago as a young housewife in NZ. It is not a real heavy cake but lightly chewy if that makes sense. I have given the recipe to many over the years here in Australia as they had never had anything like it. I still have my Edmonds cook book, actually many different editions. My 3 girls also all have copies. :)
