Snickers Chocolate Bar Cake topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
Cake
- 350 gr. sponge cake rectangular shape
- 90 g milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 180 g butter, room temperature
- 3-4 tablespoons of milk
- 450 g of powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup salted roasted peanuts
- 2 tbsp cream dolce de leche or boiled condensed milk
Chocolate glaze
- 300 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 120 g cold butter, cut into cubes
Preparation:
- Prepare the cake layers: Trim the crust off one short side of the cake, then trim off the rounded top to flatten it. Cut the cake in half horizontally to create two equal rectangles.
- Prepare the cream: Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Beat the butter, 3 tablespoons of milk, and powdered sugar together with a mixer. Add the melted chocolate and mix until smooth. If the cream is too thick, add another 1 tablespoon of milk.
- Assemble the cake: Place a thin sheet of cardboard on a baking sheet, then lay out two rectangular cake layers. Spread a small amount of frosting on the cut end of each layer, then press them together to form a long rectangle.
- Spread the frosting over the cake layers to a thickness of 2.5 cm, leaving the edges slightly higher than the center. Place the cake in the freezer and chill until the frosting is set, about 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the dolce de leche cream with the peanuts.
- Remove the cake from the freezer and spread the dolce de leche and peanut mixture evenly over the top. Freeze the cake for another 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, then stir until smooth.
- Cover the cake evenly on all sides with chocolate glaze. Then place in the freezer for 6-8 minutes to allow the chocolate to cool slightly.
- Remove the cake from the freezer. Starting from a short edge, dip the edge of a spatula into the chocolate at an angle and gently draw it in a wave-like motion along the length of the cake to create ripples. Place the cake in the freezer and chill for 10 minutes.
