Candy bar cake

Just an easy coffee cake. I used some strange mini candy bars, and although the cake tasted fine, something like Snickers would have worked much better. I think I might actually try that some day. Original recipe is from a cookbook called "Mind-blowing cakes from scratch" by Joan Johnson.

 

You will need:

• 3.5 standard size candy bars with soft filling (or 8 small ones)
• 150 g butter or margarine
• 1.5 dl sugar 
• 2 eggs
• 3 dl all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 dl milk
• 1 dl chopped nuts (optional)

Prep time: 20 minutes

Baking time: about an hour

What to do:

• Grease a cake tin and line with baking paper.
• Melt the candy bars and half the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Set aside.

The candy bars I used

• In a bowl, mix the rest of the butter with the sugar until creamy.
• Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.
• Combine the flour with the baking powder, then add to the batter along with the milk.
• Stir in the melted candy and butter
• Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, in an oven preheated to 200 C.

• Cool before serving, then decorate with some whipped cream, frosting, chocolate sauce, icing sugar, or just pieces of candy bars like I did.
