Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box devil’s food cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Candy and Toppings:
- 3 full-sized Snickers candy bars, chopped
- 8 ounces (226 grams) whipped topping, thawed
- 12 ounces (340 grams) caramel topping
Drizzle and Garnish:
- Chocolate syrup
- Caramel syrup
- Additional chopped Snickers candy bars (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the chocolate cake mix following the package instructions, ensuring a smooth and consistent batter.
- Transfer the cake batter to a greased 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 centimeters) baking pan and bake according to the recommended time and temperature.
- Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, use a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon to create multiple evenly spaced holes throughout the surface.
- While the cake is still warm, slowly pour the caramel sauce over the entire cake, gently spreading it with a spatula to ensure the sauce penetrates deeply into the holes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, which will help the caramel sauce set and infuse flavor into the cake.
- In a mixing bowl, combine whipped topping with finely chopped Snickers candy bars, gently folding until the candy pieces are evenly distributed.
- Carefully spread the Snickers-infused whipped topping in a uniform layer across the cooled cake, covering the entire surface.
- Enhance the presentation by drizzling chocolate and caramel syrups in an artistic pattern over the whipped topping.
- Optional: Garnish with additional chopped Snickers pieces for extra crunch and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the cake to set before slicing and serving chilled.
Notes
