To cater to the taste of more sweet tooth readers, we will tell you several options for how to make a cake"Snickers" with meringue. The classic recipe (with photo) will be the basis. Let's get started!

Classic of the genre: cake with peanuts and boiled condensed milk

The first step is to go to the store and get all the necessary ingredients. What products will we need? He will tell you about what is included in the "Snickers" cake with meringue", recipe with photo below.

This dessert includes three main components - cake (dough), airy meringue and cream. The fourth component will be chocolate icing, covering the Snickers cake with meringue in a thick layer.

Preparing components for dessert

Ingredients for the cake:

• 350-400 grams of sifted flour;
• two eggs;
• a glass of granulated sugar;
• half a glass of milk (room temperature);
• half a glass of sunflower oil;
• 10 grams (or sachet) of vanilla sugar;
• 2 large spoons of cocoa powder;
• half a packet of baking powder (can be replaced with a teaspoon of baking soda slaked with lemon juice).

As you can see, the ingredients for the dough are simple. Since we plan to cook the whole Snickers cake with meringue at home, we will also make the air-nut mass ourselves.

To do this, you need to take care of the availability of the following products at home:

• four egg whites;
• a glass of granulated sugar and peanuts each.

Cream for the cake should taste like a favoriteus a Snickers bar. To make it easier than ever - use boiled condensed milk (one jar) and peanuts. You can either cook condensed milk yourself or purchase a ready-made version in the supermarket - here, focus on your own preferences. It's the same with nuts. However, we advise you not to spare a little time and buy raw peanuts, which can be dried in the oven or fried in a pan. In extreme cases, a microwave will do. Firstly, this way you can independently adjust the degree of roasting. Secondly, play it safe and heat the nuts, which is especially recommended if the nuts are bought on the market by weight.

All the necessary ingredients are bought - you can start confectionery witchcraft. How to make Snickers meringue cake?

Recipe (with photo, step by step)

At home, as a rule, the most difficult thing is to successfully bake cakes. They are the basis of the cake, so we will start with them. First, mix the ingredients for the dough in the following sequence. Sift flour into a separate bowl, mix with baking powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs with regular and vanilla sugar with a whisk. Then gradually introduce sunflower oil and slightly warmed milk into this mass. Mix until smooth. Now add the flour mixture little by little. Beat everything together with active, but gentle movements.

Next, we have two options - bake cakes in one or two runs. In the first case, you will need to keep the dough in the oven a littlelonger, but the total cooking time will not change much. If this is your first time baking a Snickers cake with meringue, then it is better to stop at the second method, since not everyone can cut a ready-made cake in half so that the output is even, unbroken layers.

Pour part of the dough into a mold of medium diameter (24-26 centimeters), lubricating it with vegetable oil in advance. You can use parchment if you like. The form must be taken detachable so that you can easily remove the finished cakes. We send the dough to the oven for 20 minutes (readiness can be checked with a wooden toothpick). The oven must be preheated to 180 degrees. Since we have two cakes, we repeat the procedure twice.

As the meringue Snickers cake is being prepared, the recipe (with photo) for this airy dessert component will be next in line.

How not to ruin the meringue?

In the preparation of the "air cushion" it is important to follow simple rules, the observance of which will allow even a beginner in the confectionery art to achieve the perfect result. First, meringue proteins should be pre-cooled. This is necessary so that they are easier to beat into a dense foam. The second - in the process of whipping, add a little (a couple of drops) of lemon juice or a small pinch of s alt to them. It will also help achieve a firm, shiny protein mass.

Chilled proteins start beating first untillight foam, so that the mass is approximately doubled. Then gradually add sugar (for better dissolution, you can first grind it to a powder state). The result should be a white shiny mass with elastic peaks. We baked the cakes and left to cool, and in the meantime, you can send meringues to the oven.

Baking air-nut cookies

Everyone makes a Snickers cake with meringue in their own way. The recipe of the same dessert always has different variations and nuances. So, we will bake meringue immediately with nuts (if there is too much left, you can eat it just like that - with a cup of tea). Someone cooks it without everything, and already adds peanuts during assembly.

We take pre-fried or dried nuts and chop them with a rolling pin, after pouring them into a plastic bag. You can also use a food processor (chopper). Now carefully pour the peanuts into the protein mass and mix evenly from the bottom up.

On a baking sheet covered with parchment, we shift our air-nut mass with a large spoon. Do not make very large cookies - this will increase the baking time. The temperature in the oven should be at the level of 110-130 degrees, the cooking time should be about an hour. But be careful not to overdry the meringue. Take out and leave the cookies to cool. Cream is next.

A decent alternative to Snickers caramel

Cream is prepared as easy as shelling pears - boiled condensed milk is whipped with butter. For this, it is best to use a mixer or blender, as the whisk will not allow you to achieve the same uniformity and consistency.

A couple of tips for making cream

1. To make the Snickers cake with meringue more airy both in taste and shape, it is better to take chilled condensed milk. So it beats better, without turning into too liquid mass. Butter, on the contrary, is better to get it out of the refrigerator beforehand so that it softens (but not much).
2. Beat butter first until creamy, then add condensed milk and taste. We have achieved the desired sweetness, caramel and airy consistency of the cream - turn off the mixer and put the workpiece in the refrigerator.

What is a snickers without chocolate icing? We offer you two options for glaze - festive and budget.

Creamy Chocolate Sauce

In the first case, it will be fatter, but, in our opinion, it is more suitable for such a "crazy" dessert. For cooking, you will need 33% cream, if the fat content is less, the glaze will turn out to be thinner. You also need a chocolate bar - you can use both milk and dark (to your taste).

Heat the cream over medium heat. We break the chocolate into pieces and throw it into the same saucepan. Stir the mass until a homogeneous consistency is obtained and remove from heat. Cool slightly.

Chocolate icing: economy option

If you have cocoa powder, milk and sugar at home (and confectionery lovers have these productssurely there are), then the following recipe is perfect for you. Heat milk (3-4 tablespoons) over a fire, add a large spoonful of cocoa and 3 tablespoons of sugar. The quantity and proportions of the components in this case may vary, depending on your taste. Mix everything, cook until thick and set aside to cool.

It's time to make room for the most interesting stage - the assembly of the cake.

Final part - collecting dessert

Time to bring our creation to full readiness. Assembling a Snickers cake with meringue is easy and pleasant. Prepare a large flat dish on which you will collect and serve dessert to the table. We collect all the ingredients on one kitchen surface - cakes, meringues, cream and icing. We start from the basics. We put the cake on the dish, caramel on top (a thick layer of condensed milk cream), then air-nut cakes, pressing them tightly to each other. For better impregnation, the meringue can be chopped a little (into large pieces). Then again the cream and the second cake. We also carefully coat the sides and sprinkle with the same chopped nuts that went in the meringue.

Leave the top cake ungreased. Pour it generously with chocolate icing - so that it flows down the sides and covers the walnut sides. Voila! Our bomb dessert is almost ready. It remains only to give him time to soak - so that the taste is richer and the cake is softer. We put it in the refrigerator for several hours and take it out just before serving.

Dessert variations: variety of ingredients

Your first Snickers cake with meringue and nuts is ready. step by stepthe recipe with a photo helped you cope with this task so that the result would please you and your loved ones. In the future, if everyone likes the dessert, you can add a little creativity and experiment with the recipe. What can be changed?

First, nuts. You've probably tried the limited edition Snickers bars. At various times, the famous chocolate bar was produced with almonds, hazelnuts (and took a strong position in the market) and even with seeds. You can do the same if you want to make a Snickers meringue cake with variations. Just use other nuts in the recipe or a mix of them, for example.

In addition, you can experiment with cream - instead of boiled condensed milk, take the usual one (it goes well with almonds and cashew nuts). Or make a cake with caramel filling. All you need is cream, sugar and some vanilla. Or prepare a cream based on milk jelly and butter - a more sophisticated option for connoisseurs of a delicate and not very sweet cream.

Same story with icing - use white chocolate instead of dark and your dessert will sparkle with new colors and flavors!
