Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 1 15x2 pan, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup warm milk
3 teaspoons melted butter
2 cups flour
1 1/3 cups peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
8 ounces hershey milk chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mix eggs until nice and yellow then continue mixing in the the remaining cake ingredients. Pour into a 15 x 2 pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until tests done.
  • Immediately after removing from oven spread the 1 1/3 cup of peanut butter over hot cake. (I don't actually measure the peanut butter, I just use enough to give the cake a nice even layer.) Put aside and let cool. If I'm in a hurry I put it in the fridge to speed things up.
  • When cake is cool but NOT cold melt the tablespoon of peanut butter along with the milk chocolate in the microwave,about 1 - 1.5 minutes. Spread over cake and cool completely before cutting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your Tastykake Kandy Kake Layer Cake the best flavor. Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are all fresh.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans: Make sure to divide the batter evenly between the pans so that the cakes are all the same size.
  • Bake the cakes according to the recipe instructions: Check the cakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. When the toothpick comes out clean, the cakes are done.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

The Tastykake Kandy Kake Layer Cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy cake layers, creamy frosting, and crunchy candy topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow the tips above to make sure your cake turns out perfectly.
