Peanut Butter Traybake with Lime and Pistachio Drizzle.

Oh wow!!!! I could have so easily eaten the whole cake by myself, I didn't and, I hope, I won't. This traybake is deliciously moist, tangy, sweet and nutty. I wanted to make something special but easily transportable for my younger daughter's teachers to take on their field trip. A joint effort between my older daughter and me, the little one wasn't interested as it didn't involve chocolate.
