Time 2h10m

Yield Makes 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15.25-oz.) box devil's food cake mix
Ingredients needed to prepare cake mixes, replacing water with whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 (1.86-oz.) Snickers candy bars, coarsely chopped (2 cups)
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups cups powdered sugar, or as needed, sifted
1/2 cup finely chopped soft caramel candies
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
5 (1.86-oz.) Snickers candy bars, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease (with shortening) 2 9-inch round can pans. Line the bottoms of each pan with parchment paper; grease paper with cooking spray. Dust pans with flour, tapping out excess.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, replacing water with whole milk and adding the vanilla. Fold in the chopped candy bars. Divide batter between prepared pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Combine dark brown sugar, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Stir in half-and-half; return to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool 15 minutes. Gradually stir in enough powdered sugar to make a thick, spreadable frosting.
  • Assemble cake: Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with frosting and sprinkle with chopped caramel candies and peanuts. Top with second cake layer; spread remaining frosting on top and sides of cake. Garnish with candy bars as desired.

Categories     Dessert

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
⅓ cup butter ((which is about 3/4 of a cube))
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.
  • If desired, serve topped with ice cream and hot fudge.

Tips:

  • Use a 9x13 inch pan to bake the cake. This will ensure that the cake is evenly cooked and has a consistent texture.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the batter. This will make it easy to remove the cake from the pan after it is baked.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the frosting.
  • To make the cake even more decadent, top it with a layer of salted caramel sauce.
