SNICKERS CAKE


No one could fault you for thinking this is a snickers bar, but look again - its a snickers cake :)




When you want to indulge your craving for sweet and salty, goey, chocolaty then make this one.  I guarantee it won't last too long

Ingredients
  1. Pound Cake
  2. Caramel - you can use the recipe on this page
  3. Peanuts
  4. Chocolate Ganache
  5. Chocolate Icing

                  75 gms sugar
            20 gms flour
            3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
            115 ml milk
            115 gms butter, softened
            75 gms chocolate chips, melted
 
In a small saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, and milk and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Boil until thickened like a thinned pudding. Remove pan from heat. Cool completely in the refrigerator or freezer.

When chocolate flour mixture is cooled, beat the butter until creamy. 

Beat in the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined fluffy. 
Finally add in melted chocolate and beat again until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
