Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 10 pieces Mini Snickers bars
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this creates a moist cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. Beat the butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until smooth.
Add the heavy cream and beat until you reach a spreadable consistency.
For the ganache, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of caramel sauce on top. Sprinkle half of the peanuts and chopped mini Snickers bars over the caramel.
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the prepared buttercream frosting.
Drizzle the cooled chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides for a dramatic effect.
Garnish with additional peanuts and chopped Snickers bars for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy this sinful indulgence!
