1

For the Sponge

First up lets make the sponge; preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 10”x8” rectangle baking tin, now we’re ready to bake!

2

First thing; mix your coffee with 100ml boiling water in a small bowl and set aside to cool. Pop all your dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix. Make a well in the centre and add the oil, Vanilla Extract, eggs, buttermilk and coffee mixture and whisk together until thoroughly mixed, your mixture will be quite runny.

3

Pour your chocolatey mixture into your prepared tin and pop in the oven to bake for 30-40 minutes. To make sure your cakes are baked pop a skewer into the centre of the sponge and it should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 15 minutes, then remove, and pop onto a wire rack to cool completely.

4

For the Buttercream

Whilst your sponge is cooling it’s time to make the buttercream; pop the butter into a large bowl and beat until smoothand paler in colour. Add your icing sugar in a few intervals making sure it is mixed in after each interval, your buttercream will be very firm.

5

Pop in the Vanilla Extract, milk and peanut butter and beat again until you have a lovely fluffy buttercream.

6

To Decorate

Once your sponge has cooled pop on your serving plate or board and it’s time to decorate! Spread your buttercream on top of your sponge using a palette knife to smooth it out.

7

Drizzle the caramel over the top of the buttercream using a spoon, if the caramel is too firm heat in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to loosen and make it easier to drizzle.

8

Scatter the pieces of snickers and peanuts on top and ta-dah you’re ready to serve your Snickers Cake!
