- Add step by step the dry ingredients to the previous mix.
- Pour the mix evenly in two same sized moulds, then bake for 25 minutes at 360°F.
- Meanwhile, the ganache :
Heat the cream without boiling, and put the chocolate to melt in it. When homogeneous, take it off the heat, and let it cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour. - When the cakes are cooked, cut the top of each one. The cut must be straight and parallel to the bottom.
- On the first cake, spread the ganache, and put the second cake on it (cut side against the ganache).
- Spread ganache all over the cake, then put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Decoration :
Spread a little bit of ganache around the cake so the Kitkat bars will stick properly. Put the bars in pairs. - Tie the ribbon around the cake to hold the candy bars, and make a nice bowtie.
- Finally, pour the M&M's in the center, and distribute evenly.
There you are ! Enjoy !
Questions
Hey, just I have a couple questions, 1st. what flour is used, plain or self raising 2nd. what sugar, caster or just normal sugar and 3rd. im going to be using 8 inch cake tins, how long roughly will it take to cook?
Hi :) The flour used is plain, we never use self raising here at Petitchef's. It is normal sugar, With your 8 inches cake tins, it will take around 20 minutes at 350°F. :) Enjoy this delicious cake!
Hi I just wanted to ask you kept 4 eggs is it fine if you only put 2 eggs for 1 piece of a cake
If you want to use only 2 eggs, you'll have to use only half the ingredients, and get a smaller cake. Eggs are very important in a cake batter, and use only half of them won't work properly. Sorry!
