I made this once for a family gathering and now everyone insists that it be at every gathering! It's so easy; you use a box cake mix! For chopping the chocolate bars, I put them in the freezer, then hit them with a hammer while still in the wrapper

Time 4h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 2/3 cups flaked coconut
1 2/3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup hot water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms and sides of three 9-inch round cake pans with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, mix 2 2/3 cups coconut, 1 2/3 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 2 tablespoons hot water and 1 teaspoon vanilla with spoon; divide evenly into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into bar, about 1 1/2 inches long. (Mixture will be sticky; butter hands if desired.) Place bars on waxed paper.
  • In medium bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, beat 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup butter and the shortening with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating after each addition until blended. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and the coconut extract. In small bowl, mix buttermilk and baking soda until baking soda is dissolved. Alternately add flour and buttermilk mixture to sugar mixture, beating after each addition until smooth. Stir in almonds and 1 cup coconut. Fold in egg whites. Pour into pans.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • In medium bowl, beat all filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fill layers with filling. Arrange candy bars evenly around edge of cake; cover and freeze at least 2 hours.
  • In medium bowl, mix all frosting ingredients except 1/3 cup hot water with spoon. Stir in hot water until blended; add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time until spreadable. Spoon frosting by tablespoonfuls over candy bars just until bars are covered. Spread remaining frosting on side and top of cake (thin frosting with additional water if needed to spread easily).

Tips:

  • To ensure that the chocolate candy bar cake is perfectly cooked, use a toothpick or cake tester to check the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • For a richer flavor, use semisweet or dark chocolate candy bars instead of milk chocolate.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a more decadent cake, add a layer of chocolate ganache between the layers of cake.

Conclusion:

The chocolate candy bar cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this cake a try!
