Start by introducing the recipe for Groundnut sugar cake.

Gather the ingredients: peanuts, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, ginger, sugar, and water.

Add water and sugar to a pot, along with the cinnamon stick and bay leaf.

Stir the mixture and place it on the stove to boil.

Once boiling, remove the bay leaf but leave the cinnamon stick for flavor.

Let the mixture cook until it becomes syrupy and thick.

Add the peanuts to the thickened mixture and stir them in.

Once the mixture starts sticking to the spoon, it's time to chop it.

Work quickly to drop the mixture onto a greased sheet lined with parchment paper before it dries.

Explain that traditionally banana leaves are used, but parchment paper works fine.
