Layered Candy Bar Cake Food

CANDY BAR CAKE

Steps:

• Assemble the cake: Trim 1/2 inch off the short ends of the pound cake, then trim the domed top to make it flat. Stand the cake on its side and slice in half horizontally to make two equal-size rectangles.
• Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Beat the butter, 3 tablespoons milk and the confectioners' sugar with a mixer. Beat in the melted chocolate. Add more milk, if needed, to make the frosting spreadable.
• Lay the cake rectangles on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread some of the frosting on one short end of each cake and press together to form a long rectangle. (You can slide a thin piece of cardboard under the cake for moving to a platter later.)
• Spread the remaining frosting on the cake in a 1-inch-thick layer, making the edges slightly higher than the center. Smooth the top and sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Mix the peanuts and dulce de leche in a bowl.
• Remove the cake from the freezer. Spread the peanut mixture on the frosting in a flat, even layer. Freeze until the dulce de leche is firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the chocolate coating: Microwave the chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth.
• Pour the chocolate on the cake and spread it evenly over the top and sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until the chocolate cools slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Starting at a short end of the cake, dip the edge of an offset spatula into the chocolate at an angle and gently pull up, repeating along the top of the cake to create a wave pattern. Chill 10 minutes before serving.

CHOCOLATE-CANDY BAR LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Make One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Batter and bake following the layer cake instructions.
• Make the frosting: Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Let cool slightly. Stir together the cocoa powder and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and beat until combined. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Add the cocoa mixture. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Assemble the cake: Put 1 cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate and spread with 1 heaping cup frosting. Sprinkle with the chopped candy and top with the other cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Top with more candy.

LAYERED ICE CREAM CANDY CAKE!

Steps:

• Layer 12 ice cream sandwiches in a 9x13 pan.
• Spread half of the Cool Whip on top then 1/2 of the caramel and chocolate toppings and sprinkle with half of the candy and half of the peanuts.
• Repeat, then freeze!

SKOR OR HEATH BAR CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box for either two 8-inch or 9-inch layers. This step can be done a day in advance, provided that the layers are completely cooled before wrapping in nonstick aluminum foil.
• Assemble the cake by placing one layer on the end destination plate/platter. Spread the top ONLY with 1/2 of the caramel topping, allowing a little bit to dribble down the sides.
• Place the second layer on top of the caramel-topped first layer. Spread the remaining caramel on top of the second layer.
• Frost the cake with the chocolate frosting. It is okay (even preferable) for the caramel and chocolate frosting to blend a bit.
• On top of the frosting on the top layer, lightly press in the toffee bits until the top is coated. Although I didn't do so, you can also press toffee bits into the sides if enough remain.
