 Ingredients:

Add the peanut butter and beat again until the cream is quite fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs gradually, beating well after each addition. Add the flour in two additions, mixing well to combine. Pour batter into a mold greased with butter and sprinkled with flour. Take to the oven for about 1 hour or until risen and brown (do the toothpick test).

For the topping, heat the package of cream on the stove, not letting it boil, but letting it get very  hot. Then remove from heat and add the chocolate cut into pieces. Mix well to dissolve all the chocolate.
