Homemade Snickers Cake - 8 Homemade Delicious Recipes

This cake got its name from the chocolate bar of the same name. This means that the classic Snickers cake recipe should contain the same products in the filling: soft caramel, nuts, nougat (or something similar to it). But in practice, it’s not so simple, because there are dozens of different recipes for this cake. And everyone has a different set of ingredients, including filling.

The five most commonly used ingredients in Snickers cake recipes are:

Product	Calories kcal per 100g	Proteins g per 100g	Fats g per 100g	Carbohydrates g per 100g
Butter	734	0.5	82.5	0.8
Sugar	398	0	0	99.7
Peanut	568	26.3	45.5	9.9
Flour	325	12	1	67
Boiled condensed milk	328	7.2	8.5	55.5

Some people, instead of caramel, add boiled condensed milk, whipped with butter until fluffy. You can use different nuts to get a different taste from the previous version. Place cookies or waffles, meringues or meringues, cream or sour cream. You can also make cakes using shortbread or biscuit dough. Perhaps the only thing that unites different recipes for Snickers cake is that in its finished form it turns out higher than others. This happens due to the fillers with which the cake is soaked, in addition to the usual cream.

By the way, the cakes can be chocolate or not - that is, some add cocoa, others do not. The situation is the same with creams. There are options when several types of different cakes are baked: white, chocolate, cream. So when choosing, it is recommended to carefully examine the cross-section of the cake and study the composition of the products: is it suitable for you or not.

Five of the lowest calorie Snickers cake recipes:

Name of the dish	Cooking time	Calories kcal per 100g	User rating
Snickers mousse cake	23 h 20 min	348	+90
Snickers cake with chocolate and condensed milk	7 hours 20 minutes	355	+42
Snickers cake without meringue	1 hour 30 minutes	379	+37
Snickers cake with peanuts	6 hours 30 minutes	386	+13
Classic Snickers cake	3 hours	394	+503

The easiest way to decorate this cake is to drizzle it with frosting. Moreover, it is not necessary to fill the entire surface; you can make sagging on the sides or a mesh on top. And sprinkle with roasted chopped nuts, ideally peanuts, because that’s what they put in the original Snickers. The rest of the decoration can be anything, depending on your imagination: figured cream from a pastry bag, pieces of a chocolate bar, small cookies, candies, jelly, fresh berries, biscuit powder, mirror glaze, mastic, whipped cream, egg whites with powdered sugar, meringues, sticky caramel, etc.

2. For a more interesting taste, peanuts for Snickers can be replaced with pine nuts, walnuts, cashews and others.

3. To make Snickers candies look more beautiful and appetizing when served, you can additionally pour melted dark chocolate over them.

4. Finally, sprinkle the “Bounty” candies with coconut flakes if desired.

If desired, replace the cocoa in the snickers with regular chocolate, melt it in the microwave or grate it on a fine grater.

Composition and calorie content

The calorie content is really quite high. 100 g of Snickers chocolate contains 507 kcal. If you buy a smaller bar, the calorie content will be 280 kcal.

Protein in chocolate – 9.3 g; carbohydrates – 54.6 g; fat – 27.9 g.

Chocolate contains cocoa butter, cocoa powder, 0% fat solids, powdered and whole milk, vanillin, lactose and milk fat. The filling contains nuts (seeds, peanuts), glucose syrup, palm oil, sugar and dry protein.

Raf coffee - what is it?

So, we are talking about a drink made from espresso, sugar (usually vanilla), and cream. The ingredients are whipped by the pitcher. All components are whipped at the same time. Of course, the Russian version is not as exotic as “kopi”, which means Singaporean coffee, but still, it has a huge number of fans. Unlike cappuccino, for which a technological map has been developed, raf is an original recipe, so there are no strict standards or requirements.

It is recommended to use low-fat cream - 10%; it does not need to be whipped for long, so the foamy head is less fluffy and thick than coffee prepared using traditional Viennese technology.

Various syrups are added; according to true connoisseurs, lavender is best. The taste of the treat is tender, with a pronounced creamy note.

Interesting fact! Lavender raff is a worthy alternative to pumpkin latte.

Beat eggs with salt and sugar with a mixer.
Add half of the cocoa and flour mixture to the beaten eggs.
At low speed, beat with a mixer until smooth.
Add milk, vegetable oil and repeat the process.
Send the remaining dry mixture there. Whisk.
Pour in the boiling water and whisk again.
Line the bottom of the baking dish with parchment paper and pour the dough.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and leave the dough for 40-50 minutes.
Cut the well-cooled biscuit into cake layers.

Cooking salted caramel

Water	50 g
Sugar	200-250 g
Fat cream from 30%	250 ml
Butter	40-50 g
Sea salt optional	1 tsp.

Pour water into a saucepan or other vessel with a thick bottom, add sugar and cook over medium heat.
We don’t stir the syrup, just shake and shake the bowl.
When the sugar has dissolved, use a wet brush to wash off the sugar crystals from the walls of the dish.
Cook the syrup until it has a rich amber color. If you have a kitchen thermometer, then cook to 160°-170°C. It is important not to overcook the syrup.
Heat the cream. Remove the syrup from the heat, add the butter and stir quickly.
Add sea salt if desired. Without ceasing to stir the syrup, add hot cream in a thin stream.
Place the syrup on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, heating it to approximately 106-107°C.
Let it cool a little, pour the caramel into the container you need.

Preparing caramel mousse

Eggs	1 PC.
Milk	80 ml
Sugar	50-60 g
Salted caramel	200 g
Gelatin	14 g
Water	80 ml
Cold fat cream	250 ml

Soak the gelatin.
Boil the milk.
Mix sugar with one egg.
While beating the egg, carefully pour in the scalding milk.
Stir continuously over medium heat until slightly thickened.
Strain the egg mass through a sieve.
Add warm salted caramel and swollen gelatin and mix well.
The caramel base must cool completely.
Whip the cream cold, at low speeds, slowly adding speed.
Add the caramel base to the whipped cream and mix.

Folding the cake

Fold the baking ring and cover one side with cling film.
We put the ring on the board. We cover the sides with acetate film or thick stationery files. The ends can be secured with clothespins.
Pour exactly half of the caramel mousse into the baking ring. If available, use a kitchen scale. Level well and cool in the refrigerator.

Raf coffee at home

The lack of a coffee machine is not a reason to refuse an aromatic, tasty treat. Brew strong coffee in a convenient way. Be sure to strain the drink. Sugar is added to the cream and heated in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Then the components need to be mixed, beat with a blender until foam appears (you can use a whisk).

You can also use any mechanical cappuccino maker. But an automatic cappuccino maker for whipping will not work, as the milk pipes become clogged. If the cream is heavy, it can be diluted with milk. If you want to make a larger portion, simply make a double shot of espresso. Cream and sugar are added according to taste or according to the volume of the dishes.

Important! A homemade treat will not work out like in a coffee shop, for one simple reason - there is not enough steam power. However, the drink is tasty, close to the original, especially if you use a coffee machine.

Praline-salted peanuts

Ingredients:

Peanut praline (I used hazelnut) -120g
Milk chocolate-180g
Peanut nougatine (hazelnut) -60g

Melt the chocolate and add all the ingredients to it.

Mix thoroughly and beat with a blender until smooth.

We let our praline crystallize; to do this, we need to put it in the cold. Then we put it in a frame (20x20) in a layer of 1 cm and put it in the freezer.

Recommendations

To ensure a successful Snickers milkshake, consider the following recommendations:

Drink the Snickers cocktail through a straw, slowly, enjoying the peanut taste.

The main ingredients - peanuts, milk, liquid chocolate mass, caramel syrup - must be present. The remaining components can be removed as desired, or others can be added. You can also change the temperature and thickness of the drink. Finely chopped Snickers bars or round cookies with a layer, multi-colored dragee candies, and pieces of marshmallows are suitable as decoration.

Place ice cream and peanut slurry in a blender, pour in cream, caramel syrup and melted chocolate, add chopped nuts. If you like banana milkshake, you can add half a banana.

Then shake the mixture, gradually adding milk. This will allow you to get the desired thickness of the dessert.

To serve Snickers, use a tall cocktail glass.

The cocktail is ready to drink, and if you want to surprise your guests, you can make an interesting decoration. Buy additional creamy foam, it is sold in cans. If this is not possible, shake 30% cream to stiff peaks and place on top of the drink. Pour thin streams of melted chocolate over the creamy top, sprinkle with whole or chopped peanuts, and insert a mint sprig into the center of the peak.

History of origin

An amazing fact: coffee appeared in Russia, namely in 1996 in a small and cozy establishment “Coffee Bean” not far from the Kuznetsky Most metro station (Moscow). Here they sold grains and offered drinks prepared according to various recipes.

One day a strange guest, either Raphael or Raphael (the exact name has not been preserved), came here. It was not only the name that was strange, but also the very fact that he entered the coffee shop - the guest claimed that he did not drink coffee because no one could prepare it to please.

For the barista, the phrase sounded like a challenge. They offered many variations to the reluctant client and finally got rave reviews from the client. Raphael was captivated by the treat of strong espresso, sugar, and cream with a fat content of no more than 10%.
