Liza Minelli, Aretha Franklin, and Rowan Atkinson have all done it, and now it's Elton John's turn. That's right – they have all done advertisements for one of the tastiest candy bars out there: the Snickers bar. And since the candy bar is so famous and delicious, why not devote an entire cake to it? Our recipe combines peanuts, caramel, and chocolate to create a luscious taste that's oh, so satisfying.

You'll Need:

- 1 chocolate cake (in a 7-inch springform pan)

For the caramel peanut layer:

- 7 oz sugar
- 7 oz lukewarm cream
- 7 oz salted peanuts

For the peanut cream:

- 17½ oz mascarpone
- 9 oz peanut butter
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 7 oz sugar
- 1 Snickers bar

For the chocolate glaze:

- 3½ oz milk chocolate
- 2 oz peanut butter
- 2 Snickers bars

Here's How:

Tip: For a really great cake, go ahead and make the chocolate cake yourself. Beat 3 eggs with a pinch of salt and 2½ oz of sugar until foamy. In a separate bowl, mix 1½ oz flour, 2 tbsp cocoa, 4 tbsp corn starch, and 1 tbsp baking powder together and then add to the egg mixture. Pour the final bater into a springform pan and bake 25-30 minutes at 350°F.

1. Cut the cake in half horizontally and put the bottom half in a springform pan.

2. Caramelize the sugar in a pot until golden brown and add the cream. Stir both ingredients together until well blended and then stir in the peanuts. Let the mixture cool down before pouring over the cake base.

3. To make the peanut cream, add the mascarpone and peanut butter to a large bowl, followed by the powdered sugar, corn starch, and sugar. Grate a snickers bar over the ingredients and then mix everything together.

4. Spread the peanut cream over the peanut caramel layer, place the top half of the chocolate cake on top, and refrigerate the cake for an hour. Then remove the cake from the pan.

5. To prepare the chocolate glaze, melt the milk chocolate and peanut butter together and stir well. Pour the glaze evenly over the cake and garnish with 2 Snickers bars cut into small pieces.
