This cake of caramel and chocolate combo that will melt in your mouth | Amazing Soft Snickers Cake

Snickers Cake - If you like a combo of caramel and chocolate like I do, this is the cake for you. And I’m sure this is most people’s favourite. I love Snickers bars, and it’s heavenly to have the similar flavours in a cake form. I applied a chocolate genoise which give a soft and moist cake texture. Similar to a Snickers Bar, there will be a layer of caramel peanut and cream. In this cream, I’m using Mascarpone to make the cream lighter and less sweet. Overall it’s came out as a big hit, everyone enjoys this cake. It’s super delicious. I love the flavouring so much with the added nuts, and the sweetness is well balanced with a bit of saltiness. I hope you’re inspired to try out this delectable cake. Enjoy!
