OLD FASHIONED PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Peanut butter is a superfood that provides high doses of protein, vitamins, and nutrients. It also has an extraordinary flavour that makes it a great ally of various cuisines as Asian and some African. Peanut butter pie is a delicious way to eat this nut.

Of American origin, it was called with different names to that seed product of the hybridization of two wild species, crossing the ovule of the Arachis duranensis (in the north of Argentina) with the pollen of the Arachis parenesis (Brazil). This combination was a consequence of the mixture of human harvesting and migration, and insect pollination. This occurred no less than 9,400 years ago. The ancient inhabitants of these vast regions crossed the Andes mountain range and took it to Mesoamerica, specifically Mexico.

In the Andean region, it was called inches, which is the Quechua name for the seed; in Mexico, it was called tlalcacáhuatl, in Nahuatl, and the Caribbean, in the Taino language, it was called peanut. These last two names are the best known for this seed so full of flavour and goodness.
