Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with the rack in the middle. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and toast the peanuts for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. Prepare a non stick loaf pan (9" x 5" x 3") with parchment paper or cooking spray. In a medium bowl mix together dry ingredients (excluding chopped peanuts.) In a separate bowl mix together wet ingredients. Combine the wet and dry well to form a batter. Pour into loaf pan, smoothing top with a knife or spatula. Top cake with chopped nuts. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until a skewer or toothpick comes out crumb free.
