The only thing better than a classic chocolate layer cake is one with a boiled caramel frosting with peanuts and even more caramel in the middle. This cake will be at home on the dessert sideboard any time of the year, but it makes an especially good Halloween treat.

Time 2h10m

Yield Makes 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15.25-oz.) box devil's food cake mix
Ingredients needed to prepare cake mixes, replacing water with whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 (1.86-oz.) Snickers candy bars, coarsely chopped (2 cups)
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups cups powdered sugar, or as needed, sifted
1/2 cup finely chopped soft caramel candies
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
5 (1.86-oz.) Snickers candy bars, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease (with shortening) 2 9-inch round can pans. Line the bottoms of each pan with parchment paper; grease paper with cooking spray. Dust pans with flour, tapping out excess.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, replacing water with whole milk and adding the vanilla. Fold in the chopped candy bars. Divide batter between prepared pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Combine dark brown sugar, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Stir in half-and-half; return to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool 15 minutes. Gradually stir in enough powdered sugar to make a thick, spreadable frosting.
  • Assemble cake: Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with frosting and sprinkle with chopped caramel candies and peanuts. Top with second cake layer; spread remaining frosting on top and sides of cake. Garnish with candy bars as desired.

This is a recipe I found on Facebook, posted by "Kim's Krazyness." It has a moist, almost "wet" cake layer due to the topping of caramel you pour on while it's hot. NOTE: Because it has a real whipped cream topping, be sure to to store in the refrigerator!

Tips:

  • Use a quality chocolate bar. The quality of the chocolate bar you use will directly affect the flavor of the cake, so choose a chocolate bar that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can cause the cake to be tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Do not overbake the cake. Overbaking the cake can cause it to be dry, so test it with a toothpick after the baking time has elapsed. The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This Snickers Snack Cake is an easy and delicious recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and chocolatey, with a creamy peanut butter frosting and a crunchy chocolate ganache. Whether you're a fan of Snickers bars or just looking for a new dessert to try, this cake is sure to please.
