Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 25cm (12 cup) bundt or ring pan.

2.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, peanut butter and sugar together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Lightly fold in flour alternately with milk, ending with flour.

3.Pour half the mixture into a bowl. Stir melted chocolate through one half. Dollop alternate spoonfuls of mixtures into pan, then drag a skewer through batter to make a swirl.

4.Bake for 1 hour until cooked when tested. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

5.In a large bowl, whisk mascarpone and caramel together until combined. Chill until required.

6.Place butterscotch lollies on a lined oven tray 5cm apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until melted. Sprinkle with nuts, then cool. Break into pieces.

7.Split marble cake in half horizontally. Place half on a serving plate, cut-side up. Spread base with mascarpone mix and top with remaining cake. Drizzle with icing, then sprinkle with peanut caramel.
