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
• 0.75 cup Salted peanuts
• 1 cup Nougat (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Chopped milk chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Then, slowly pour in the boiling water and continue stirring until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 6

Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of caramel sauce over the top.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the salted peanuts and dollop half of the nougat over the caramel to create a textured filling.

Step 8

Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with a layer of caramel sauce, the remaining peanuts, and the nougat.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped milk chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 10

Add the butter to the chocolate mixture and stir until glossy. Let it cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides for a rustic presentation.

Step 12

Let the ganache set before serving. Slice and enjoy the decadent layers of Grammy's Snicker Cake!
