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 Unsalted butter
• 7 ounces Marshmallow creme
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Caramel sauce
• 1 cup Chopped salted peanuts
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Stir the boiling water into the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is expected. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Step 5

Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

To prepare the nougat filling, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of the nougat filling over the cake.

Step 8

Drizzle caramel sauce over the nougat layer and sprinkle evenly with chopped peanuts.

Step 9

Add the second layer of cake on top. Spread more caramel sauce evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 10

For the chocolate ganache, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.

Step 11

Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then pour it over the cake, letting it drip down the sides for a glossy finish.

Step 12

Garnish with additional chopped peanuts and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your Snicker Candy Bar Cake!
