Kandy cake, also known as "Kandy nisa boosti", is a traditional Sri Lankan sweet originating from the city of Kandy. It is a popular dessert, often served at special occasions and gatherings. The cake is characterized by its unique texture, which is both soft and chewy, and its distinct flavor, which is derived from a combination of coconut, jaggery, and spices. The preparation of Kandy cake involves several steps, including grinding rice, mixing it with coconut, jaggery, and spices, and then steaming the mixture until it reaches a desired consistency. This article will provide you with a detailed recipe to make this delicious and authentic Sri Lankan delicacy in the comfort of your own home.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one sheet cake pan or one cookie sheet with 1 inch sides.

- While the cake is still warm, spread with peanut butter. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate morsels, and put the pan back into the oven to melt the chocolate. Spread the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter. Refrigerate until chocolate is set. Alternatively, you can let the peanut butter cool and harden. Later, melt the chocolate, and spread it on the cake. It comes out in two distinct peanut butter and chocolate layers that way.

TASTYKAKE KANDY KAKE LAYER CAKE
I am a Pennsylvania gal through and through. Love the state, love the food and love the people. One of my favorite PA treats are small cakes and cupcakes made by Tastykake out of Philadelphia PA. A friend of mine loves the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes so I came up with this recipe so that she can have the taste of them any time (even though you can order them from their website). This is super simple box cake recipe that only takes minutes to make. I think the reason it works is because of the particular brands of cake mix and frosting. Hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix eggs until nice and yellow then continue mixing in the the remaining cake ingredients. Pour into a 15 x 2 pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until tests done.
- Immediately after removing from oven spread the 1 1/3 cup of peanut butter over hot cake. (I don't actually measure the peanut butter, I just use enough to give the cake a nice even layer.) Put aside and let cool. If I'm in a hurry I put it in the fridge to speed things up.
- When cake is cool but NOT cold melt the tablespoon of peanut butter along with the milk chocolate in the microwave,about 1 - 1.5 minutes. Spread over cake and cool completely before cutting.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Pay attention to oven temperature: The temperature of your oven can make a big difference in the outcome of your cake. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and other chemicals.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you can master the art of baking Kandy cake. Just remember to follow the tips above and you'll be sure to create a delicious and beautiful cake that everyone will love. So preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and start baking!
