Snickers cake: step by step recipe

For the cake, biscuit dough boiled with boiling water is used. The cake is airy and crumbly.

Products for biscuit layers:

• 220 g sugar;
• 4 tbsp. l. cocoa powder;
• 250 g flour;
• 1 egg;
• 4 tsp vegetable oil;
• 150 ml of milk;
• 120 ml boiling water;
• a pinch of cinnamon;
• a pinch of vanillin;
• 1 bag of baking powder.

Ingredients for filling, impregnation and glaze:

• 300 g of peanuts;
• 1 can of boiled condensed milk;
• 2 white chocolate bars;
• 300 g of chocolate drops;
• 350 ml of cream.

Recipe:

1. Sift flour.

   

   Sifting flour ensures airiness in baked goods

2. Mix cocoa with sugar.

   

   You can use powdered sugar instead of sugar.

3. Add baking powder, vanilla and cinnamon.

   

   Baking powder, vanillin and cinnamon can be mixed in advance

4. Whisk the egg and milk.

   

   Beat the egg with milk until foam appears.

5. Add oil.

   

   The oil must be odorless

6. Mix all the dough ingredients. Then add boiling water to it and stir quickly.

   

   The chocolate dough for the biscuit must be thoroughly mixed, so it rises better when baking

7. Line the mold with parchment and pour the dough over it. Bake the crust for 40–45 minutes.

   

   Before baking, be sure to level the surface of the dough with a knife

8. Roast the peanuts in the oven.

   

   Use a deep pan for roasting peanuts

9. Peel off.

   

   Peeled peanuts should cool down a little more.

10. Grind with a blender.

    

    Chopping the peanuts too fine will make the filling of the cake look less appetizing, so don't go overboard

11. Open a jar of boiled condensed milk and mix its contents with nuts.

    

    Condensed milk should be taken natural, without the addition of palm oil

12. To soak the cake, melt white chocolate in a water bath.

    

    Keep melted white chocolate in a water bath until you need it to soak the cake

13. Prepare the required amount of chocolate drops.

    

    Drops are very convenient for making chocolate ganache

14. Heat the cream to a temperature of 50–55 °.

    

    Stir the cream while heating

15. Whisk the hot cream and drops in a deep pan. Stir until a thick, homogeneous mass is formed.

    

    Chocolate ganache cannot be left for a long time, it must be stirred all the time, otherwise it will thicken too much

16. Now you need to quickly assemble the cake. Spread melted white chocolate on a layer of cooled biscuit, place the nut-caramel filling on top in an even layer. Fill the entire surface of the cake with ganache and smooth it with a hot knife blade.

    

    Before serving, the Snickers cake should stand for 2-2.5 hours
