Ingredients for Snickers cake:

For the base:
- 6 egg whites
- 200 g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 200 g ground walnuts
- 2 tablespoons flour

For the caramel cream:
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 200 g roasted (chopped) walnuts
- 1 margarine (about 200 g)
- 4 egg yolks

For decoration:
- 200 g white chocolate
- 200 g dark chocolate

Preparing the fluffy base

The first step is to prepare the cake base. This is the foundation that will support the delicious cream and chocolate.

1. In a large bowl, add the 6 egg whites. Use a mixer to beat them at high speed. Gradually add 200 g of powdered sugar and continue mixing until you obtain a stiff, glossy foam. This step is crucial, as the incorporated air will make the base light and fluffy.

2. Add a teaspoon of baking powder to help the dough rise. Start carefully integrating 200 g of ground walnuts and the 2 tablespoons of flour. Use a spatula to gently fold, so you don't lose the air from the foam.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan with margarine and sprinkle flour on the bottom to prevent the bases from sticking.

4. Pour the obtained mixture into the pan and level the surface. Bake the base for 25-30 minutes or until it turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, let the base cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it to a rack to cool completely.

Delicious caramel cream

Now, let's take care of the caramel cream that will add a rich flavor to our cake.

5. In a saucepan, add 200 g of granulated sugar and caramelize it over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. When the sugar turns golden, turn off the heat and carefully add a little water (about 50 ml) to stop the caramelization process. Be careful, as splashes may occur.

6. Add 200 g of roasted and chopped walnuts, margarine, and the 4 egg yolks to the saucepan. Mix well and place the saucepan over low heat. Cook the cream, stirring constantly, for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens.

7. Once the cream is ready, pour it evenly over the cooled base.

Decorating the cake

8. Grate the dark chocolate over the warm cream, allowing it to melt slightly and integrate into the caramel layer.

9. In another bowl, melt the white chocolate and pour it evenly over the cake. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

10. Let the cake cool completely, ideally overnight in the fridge. This step will allow the flavors to blend perfectly.

11. The next day, cut the cake into squares or rectangles and serve it with a smile.

Useful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start preparing for optimal texture.
- If you want to add an extra flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the caramel cream.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can use chocolate with a higher cocoa content for decoration.

Nutritional benefits:
This cake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients thanks to the walnuts. Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants. However, considering the sugar and margarine content, it's best to enjoy it in moderation.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of nuts?
Yes, you can try hazelnuts or almonds, but the taste will vary.

2. How can I store the cake?
It keeps well in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container.

3. Can I use milk chocolate?
Of course! Milk chocolate will add a sweeter and creamier taste.
