🧈 Ingredients for the Easy Snickers Cake

• 360 ml (1 ½ cups) whole milk

• 150 g (5 oz) roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

• 360 g (3 cups) all-purpose flour

• 1 ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• 340 g (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 400 g (2 cups) sugar

• 6 large eggs

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 cups (about 250 g) Snickers bars, cut into 0.5 cm pieces

• 70 g (½ cup) milk chocolate, melted

👩‍🍳 How to Make the Easy Snickers Cake Step by Step

• Prepare the peanut-infused milk:In a medium saucepan, pour in the milk and add the chopped peanuts.Warm over medium heat until it starts to simmer.Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.Then, increase the heat slightly just until it reaches a light boil.Remove from the heat and let it cool completely (or refrigerate it overnight for a stronger flavor).Once it reaches room temperature, strain the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the peanuts — their aroma will have already infused the milk.

  
  

• Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and generously butter a 23 cm (9-inch) Bundt pan.Because the cake contains caramel, make sure to coat the pan really well with butter and dust it with flour or breadcrumbs to prevent sticking.

Since this cake has caramel in it, make sure to butter the pan really well and dust it with a bit of flour or breadcrumbs— otherwise, it might stick!

🥄 Mix the dry ingredients:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

• Set aside 1 tablespoon of this mixture and toss it with the chopped Snickers pieces — this will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.

Prepare the “buttermilk”:

• Measure 240 ml (1 cup) of the peanut-infused milk.

• Stir in the apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it slightly curdles — this will make the cake extra soft and fluffy.

🧈 Cream the butter and sugar:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light and creamy.

• Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

🥚 Add the eggs:

• Add the eggs one at a time, waiting for each to fully incorporate before adding the next.

• Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula occasionally.

🥣 Combine the dry and wet ingredients:

• Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.

• Once the final addition is in, do not overmix — just fold until combined.

🍫 Add the Snickers:

• Using a soft spatula, gently fold in the chopped Snickers pieces, being careful not to break them apart.

🔥 Bake:

• Pour the batter into the buttered Bundt pan and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top.

• Using a knife or skewer, make gentle swirling motions to create a marbled effect with the chocolate.

⏱️ Bake the cake:

• Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

🍰 Unmold and cool:

• Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 5–7 minutes in the pan.

• Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before serving or glazing.

💡 Extra Tips for the Perfect Result

• For a richer caramel flavor, drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the baked cake.

• You can substitute Snickers with Mars bars or Peanut Butter Cups.

• For a moister texture, add 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream to the batter.

• It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of peanut butter on top. 😋
