Snickers Cake Recipe

This past Monday was the Hubster's birthday.  He is a HUGE fan of Snickers ~ Regular Snickers, Almond Snickers, Peanut Butter Snickers, Ice Cream Bar Snickers .... it doesn't matter as long as it's Snickers.

For his birthday, I thought a Snickers cake would be awesome so I headed over to Pinterest and did a quick search and found this recipe.  I tweaked it just a bit and the outcome was amazing!!!  So amazing in fact that I neglected to take a good picture of the finished product ~ every time I got near it, I had to eat a piece. 

Consumer beware ~ this is a super RICH cake so have a glass of milk handy!! 

INGREDIENTS
16.5 oz box of  Devil’s Food cake mix
1 c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
3 eggs
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz jar Caramel ice cream topping sauce
1 c chocolate chips
1 pt heavy whipping cream
1/2 c powdered sugar
3 Snickers candy bars, chopped

STEPS

• Preheat oven to 350º.
• In a large mixing bowl beat together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs at medium speed for 2 1/2 minutes.
• Pour the cake batter into a greased 9” x 13” pan
• Bake the cake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
• While the cake is baking mix together the condensed milk and jar of caramel sauce until thoroughly blended.
• When the cake is done cooking, but still hot, poke 20–30 holes in the cake using a straw.
• Pour the caramel sauce over the entire cake.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the cake while hot then spread around once melted.
• Allow the cake to finish cooling completely (I stuck mine in the fridge to speed this up)
• In a medium mixing bowl beat together the whipping cream and powdered sugar at high speed until it is nice and thick, about 3–5 minutes.
• Fold the chopped Snickers into the whipped topping.
• Spread the whipped topping over the top of the cake.
• Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Enjoy!
