CANDY BAR CAKE



Candy Bar Cake image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 12-ounce frozen pound cake
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
1 1-pound box confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup salted roasted peanuts
2 cups dulce de leche
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Assemble the cake: Trim 1/2 inch off the short ends of the pound cake, then trim the domed top to make it flat. Stand the cake on its side and slice in half horizontally to make two equal-size rectangles.
  • Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Beat the butter, 3 tablespoons milk and the confectioners' sugar with a mixer. Beat in the melted chocolate. Add more milk, if needed, to make the frosting spreadable.
  • Lay the cake rectangles on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread some of the frosting on one short end of each cake and press together to form a long rectangle. (You can slide a thin piece of cardboard under the cake for moving to a platter later.)
  • Spread the remaining frosting on the cake in a 1-inch-thick layer, making the edges slightly higher than the center. Smooth the top and sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix the peanuts and dulce de leche in a bowl.
  • Remove the cake from the freezer. Spread the peanut mixture on the frosting in a flat, even layer. Freeze until the dulce de leche is firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the chocolate coating: Microwave the chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate on the cake and spread it evenly over the top and sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until the chocolate cools slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Starting at a short end of the cake, dip the edge of an offset spatula into the chocolate at an angle and gently pull up, repeating along the top of the cake to create a wave pattern. Chill 10 minutes before serving.

GIANT CARAMEL CANDY BAR CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Giant Caramel Candy Bar Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, unsalted butter, light brown sugar, light corn syrup, unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, milk chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, coconut oil, baking pan

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups unsalted butter, 4 sticks, cubed, room temperature
¾ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup light corn syrup
¾ cup unsalted butter, 1 1/2 sticks
¾ cup heavy cream
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
2 cups milk chocolate chips
3 tablespoons coconut oil
baking pan, 12x4½- in (30x11-cm)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 12x4½- in (30x11-cm) baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Make the shortbread: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the butter. Use your hands to work it into the flour until a dough forms. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Cover with foil.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 45-60 minutes, until light golden brown. Let cool completely.
  • Make the caramel filling: In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, cream, and salt. Over medium-high heat, bring the caramel to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes. 5. Then, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes, until slightly deeper golden in color. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Pour the caramel over the shortbread cookie. Let cool in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until set.
  • Once the cookie has chilled, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the chocolate ridges. Pour ⅓ of the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a 13x5-inch (33x12 cm) rectangle.
  • Lift the cookie out of the pan using the parchment paper, and remove the paper. Place the cookie on top of the chocolate rectangle. Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top of the caramel. Spread the chocolate to the edges in a zig-zag motion to create textured ridges. Return to the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until the chocolate hardens.
  • While the cookie is chilling, make the chocolate glaze: Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cookie from the refrigerator. Invert 2 jars or glasses on a baking sheet or piece of parchment paper. Set the cookie bar on the jars and pour the chocolate glaze over the cookie. Use a spatula to carefully push the chocolate over the edges of the cookie to coat the sides, being careful not to flatten the edges. Carefully return to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour, until the chocolate is hardened. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • Cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick slices with a sharp knife.
  • Enjoy!
