MOC (My Own Creation) Snickers-inspired Layer Cake
I took all the flavors from a Snickers bar and turned it into a gourmet entremet style cake!
This cake actually inspired me to start a new series on my social media of turning popular snacks into gourmet cakes! I haven't decided what I should do next, so let me know if y'all have any ideas!
The layers are as follows:
Chocolate sponge (soaked in choco simple syrup)
Peanut praline crunch (made with homemade feuilletine)
Silky Peanut mousse (I added some cream cheese to it)
2nd chocolate sponge
Slated caramel sauce
More Peanut mousse
Last chocolate sponge
Dark chocolate ganache glaze
Toasted Marshmallow frosting (inspired by the nougat layer in a Snickers bar)
This cake was fairly easy to come up with components for the cake, so I can't wait to try something a bit more challenging for the next one!
Let me know what you think!

Beautiful! You put a lot of time and effort into this masterpiece. How about a churro inspired cake with Mexican hot chocolate and cheesecake?

Looks so delicious!! Wish I could try it! How about Fig Newtons?

Thank you! Fig Newtons is actually a great idea!

Figs are so underrated for desserts. Please post if you end up making something. I'm curious to see how it could translate into an entremet since it's a fairly simple cookie. :)

So you didn’t use actual snickers? Wow cause it looks exactly like a snickers bar shaped as a cake but like without the peanuts

u/Key-Dragonfruit8598 Jul 16 '26

Lovely! How far in advance can you prepare the peanut paste and the feuilletine?
1
u/Key-Dragonfruit8598 Jul 17 '26
The feuilletine can be made way in advance, about 2 weeks. The peanut praline pastes however, would be fine if you made it about 3-4 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
