Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 German Chocolate Cake Mix (we used Betty Crocker)
3 eggs
1⅓ cups water
½ cup vegetable oil
14 ounces Kraft Caramels (1 bag, or any other caramel you like)
¼ cup milk

2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
vanilla ice cream (optional topping)
hot fudge (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Mix together cake mix as directed on the box adding the eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • While it bakes, unwrap all the caramels (don't have your husband help- he will eat half of them. I am totally speaking from experience). Put the caramels, milk, and butter in a sauce pan and melt over low heat, stirring constantly until caramel is melted and smooth.
  • Pour the caramel on the cake as soon as it is finished baking. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and pecans on top of the caramel. Spread the remaining half of the prepared cake mix batter on top. Bake for 20 more minutes at 350 degrees.

GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



Gooey Butter Cake image

The signature dessert of St. Louis is just what its name suggests-a wonderfully gooey butter cake that doesn't quite set when baked.

Provided by Anne Byrn

Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup whole milk
2¼ tsp. (1 package) active dry yeast
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
¾ tsp. salt
1 large egg
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
Soft butter for prepping the pans
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup light corn syrup
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup cake flour
Confectioners' sugar for dusting the cake

Steps:

  • For the cake, place the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 1 minute, or in the microwave on low power for 45 seconds, and heat until the milk is 100° F. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk, and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
  • Place the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer, and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour alternately with the yeast and milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. When all the flour has been added, blend on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly rub butter into the bottom of two 8" square pans. Divide the dough in half, and press one half into the bottom of each pan. Cover each pan loosely with plastic wrap, and place in a warm place to rise until nearly doubled, about 2 hours.
  • When the dough has nearly finished rising, make the filling. Place the butter, sugar, salt, and corn syrup in a large mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the vanilla and 1 egg. Beat on medium speed until combined, then add the second egg. Add the milk and half the flour, beating until combined. Add the rest of the flour, and beat until smooth. Set aside.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the filling over the rising dough, dividing it evenly between the 2 pans, and spread it to the edges. Place the pans in the oven.
  • Bake the cakes until the tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let the cakes cool for 20 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, slice, and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before baking. This helps ensure even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate bar for the ganache. This will result in a richer, more flavorful frosting.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • When making the ganache, be sure to use heavy cream with at least 36% butterfat. This will help create a thick, creamy frosting.
  • If the ganache is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk to thin it out.
  • If the ganache is too loose, you can place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm it up.
  • Top the cake with chopped Snickers bars or other candy of your choice.

Conclusion:

With its rich chocolate flavor, gooey caramel center, and crunchy peanut topping, this Snickers cake is sure to be a hit with chocolate lovers of all ages. The cake is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for home bakers of all skill levels. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, give this Snickers cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
