Time 3h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Batter (see related recipe below)
8 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped Heath bars or other candy bars, plus large pieces for topping

Steps:

  • Make One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Batter and bake following the layer cake instructions.
  • Make the frosting: Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Let cool slightly. Stir together the cocoa powder and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and beat until combined. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Add the cocoa mixture. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Assemble the cake: Put 1 cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate and spread with 1 heaping cup frosting. Sprinkle with the chopped candy and top with the other cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Top with more candy.

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

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your cake turns out perfectly.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your cake. Use the best chocolate you can find, and make sure your other ingredients are fresh and flavorful.
  • Follow the Recipe Carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. Baking is a science, and if you change the recipe, you may not get the results you want.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and avoid overbeating.
  • Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the cake in. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, let it cool completely. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
