Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
- 300 g sugar
- 6 egg whites
- 6 egg yolks
- 200 g butter (melted)
- 200 g flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 200 g peanuts (unsalted)
- 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 200 g whipping cream
- 150 g caramel (you can use store-bought or homemade)
Step by step for a perfect Snickers cake:
1. Preparing the batter: In a tall bowl (preferably glass), carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure no yolk remains in the whites, as they need to be very clean to achieve a consistent foam. Add the 300 g of sugar over the egg whites and mix on high speed until the mixture becomes firm and glossy, and the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Incorporating the yolks and dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the yolks with the melted butter and mix until smooth. Fold in the egg white mixture, then add the flour and salt. Gently mix with a spatula, being careful not to lose the air in the mixture.
3. Adding the peanuts: Chop the peanuts into large pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference. Fold them into the batter. They will add a crunchy taste and interesting texture to the cake.
4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the batter into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and level the surface. Bake the cake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the tray.
5. Preparing the glaze: In a bowl, whip the cream until firm. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, being careful not to burn it. Once the chocolate has cooled, gently fold it into the whipped cream, mixing carefully to preserve the air in the mixture.
6. Assembling the cake: Once the cake has completely cooled, cut it into squares. Spread a generous layer of caramel on each square, then add a layer of chocolate glaze. You can decorate with a few whole peanuts on top for a more attractive appearance.
7. Serving: Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, to allow the glaze to set and the flavors to blend harmoniously. Serve with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
Variation suggestions:
- You can replace the peanuts with hazelnuts or pecans for a different flavor.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for an extra touch of flavor.
