A special compliment for those with a sweet tooth will be the Snickers cake with meringue. The crispy meringue layer will not get soggy and will go well with the soft sponge cake. The recipe for this cake is based on the famous candies. There are many variations of the dessert. But the classic is that any recipe must include nuts, chocolate and caramel.

How to cook Snickers Cake with Meringue

Step 1

Prepare the meringue. Beat three egg whites together with 250 grams of sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 2

Draw a circle of the future diameter of the cake on parchment, turn it over and place it on a baking sheet. Put an even layer of meringue in the center of the circle. Bake for 2-2.5 hours at 110-120 °C.

Step 3

Prepare the sponge cake. Separate 5 egg whites and beat with 5 tablespoons of sugar. Gradually add the yolks. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into the mixture and mix.

Step 4

Place the dough in a baking dish and place in an oven preheated to 180 ℃ for 25-30 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare the syrup for soaking the sponge cake. Dissolve 4 tablespoons of sugar in water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Let cool.

Step 6

Soak the biscuit in syrup.

Step 7

Prepare the cream. Beat room temperature butter with a mixer, add a can of condensed milk. Beat with a mixer until smooth.

Step 8

For the ganache, pour hot cream over 100 grams of chocolate, stir until smooth and let cool.

Step 9

Grind the peanuts into coarse crumbs.

Step 10

Assemble the cake. Soak the cake with syrup, spread with cream and ganache. Sprinkle with peanuts, cover with a meringue cake. Spread the meringue with cream and sprinkle with peanuts again. Trim the edges of the cake with a knife and decorate the cake with nuts and chopped up remains of the cake. If desired, decorate the cake with the rest of the ganache.

Snickers Cake with Meringue - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the peanuts with another nut or omit them for allergies?

Yes, you can use almonds, walnuts, or pecans instead of peanuts, or omit nuts entirely for an allergy-friendly version. The cake will still be delicious with just the meringue, cream, and ganache layers.

How long can I store the Snickers cake, and what's the best way to keep it fresh?

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The meringue may soften slightly over time, but the flavors will deepen. Avoid freezing as the texture may change.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Absolutely! Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 ratio) and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free. The sponge will still be light and fluffy.

What can I use instead of condensed milk in the cream?

For a less sweet option, use whipped heavy cream sweetened with a little powdered sugar. Alternatively, dulce de leche can add a richer caramel flavor.

Can I prepare parts of this cake ahead of time?

Yes! The meringue and sponge can be baked 1-2 days in advance (store separately at room temp). The ganache and cream can also be made ahead and refrigerated—just rewhip the cream before assembling.

How can I prevent the meringue from cracking or becoming too sticky?

Bake the meringue low and slow (110-120°C) and let it cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Humidity can make it sticky, so store it in a dry place until assembly.

Is there a way to make this cake egg-free?

For the sponge, try an egg replacer or flax eggs, but the texture will differ. The meringue is harder to replace, but you could use aquafaba (chickpea brine) whipped with sugar as an alternative.

How should I serve this cake for the best experience?

Let the cake sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Pair with coffee or a glass of milk to balance the sweetness.

Can I adjust the cake size for fewer servings?

Yes! Halve all ingredients for a smaller cake. Keep baking times similar but check for doneness earlier, especially for the sponge (around 20 mins).
