This dessert includes three main ingredients - cake (dough), air meringue and cream. The fourth component will be chocolate glaze covering the Snickers cake with a thick layer of meringue.

Preparation of ingredients for dessert

Ingredients for the cake:

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

As you can see, the ingredients for the test are the simplest. Since we are planning to prepare the whole "Snickers" cake with meringues at home, the air-nut mass will also be made independently.

To do this, you need to worry about having the house of the following products in advance:

• Four egg whites;
• A glass of sugar and peanuts.

Cream for the cake to taste should resemble the favorite "Snickers" bar. To make it easier is simple - to use boiled condensed milk (one jar) and peanuts. Condensed milk can be cooked on its own, and buy a ready-made option in the supermarket - here, be guided by 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 fry in a pan. In the extreme case, a microwave oven will do. First, so you can independently adjust the degree of roasting. Secondly, you will reinsert and produce heat treatment of nuts, which is especially recommended if nuts are bought in the market by weight.

All the necessary ingredients are bought - you can start confectionery witchcraft. How to cook a cake "Snickers" with a meringue?

Recipe (with photo, step by step)

At home, as a rule, it is most difficult to successfully bake cakes. They are the basis of the cake, so we'll start with them. To begin with, mix the ingredients for the dough in the following sequence. We sift the flour into a separate bowl, mix it with a baking powder. In another bowl, whisk egg with the usual and vanilla sugar. Then gradually introduce into this mass sunflower oil and slightly warmed milk. Mix to homogeneity. Now, in small portions, pour the flour mixture. We shake everything together with active, but neat movements.

Further, we have two options - bake cakes in one or two sets. In the first case, keep the dough in the oven will need a little longer, but the total cooking time will not change. If you first bake a cake "Snickers" with a meringue, then it's better to stop on the second method, since not everyone can cut the ready-made cake in half so that the output is equal, unbreakable layers.

Pour part of the dough into the shape of an average diameter (24-26 centimeters), beforehand having greased it with vegetable oil. You can use parchment if you like. The mold should be taken detachable so that it is possible to 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, repeat the procedure twice.

Since the "Snickers" cake is being prepared with a meringue, the recipe (with a photo) of this air component for dessert will be next on the line.

How not to spoil meringues?

In the preparation of "air cushion" it is important to follow simple rules, observance of which will allow to achieve an ideal result even for a beginner in confectionery art. The first - proteins for meringue should be pre-cooled. This is to ensure that they are more easily whipped into a thick foam. Secondly, in the process of whipping, add a little (a couple drops) of lemon juice to them or a small pinch of salt. This will also help achieve an elastic shiny protein mass.

We begin to beat the cooled proteins first to a light foam, so that the mass increases approximately twice. Then gradually pour the sugar (for better dissolution, you can first grind it to the state of powder). As a result, a white shiny mass with elastic peaks should appear. We baked the corks and left to cool, and in the meantime, you can send the meringue to the oven.

We bake an air-nut cookie

Everyone in their own way prepares a cake "Snickers" with a meringue. The recipe for the same dessert always has different variations and nuances. So, we will bake the meringue at once with nuts (if it remains superfluous, it can be eaten just like that - over a cup of tea). Someone prepares it without everything, and already at assembly adds peanuts.

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

On the baking tray, covered with parchment, we shift with our large spoon our air-nut mass. Do not need to make very large cookies - this will increase the baking time. The temperature in the oven should be at 110-130 degrees, cooking time - about an hour. But watch to not overdry meringue. We take out and leave the cookies to cool. Next in line is a cream.

A decent alternative to caramel from the "Snickers"

The cream is prepared simply simple - boiled condensed milk is beaten with butter. To do this, it is best to use a mixer or blender, since the corolla will not allow to achieve the same uniformity and consistency.

A couple of tips for making cream

1. To cake "Snickers" with meringue turned more airy, both in taste and shape, condensed milk is better to take chilled. So it is better to beat, not turning into a too liquid mass. But, on the contrary, it is better to get the oil from the fridge beforehand, so that it softens (but not much).
2. First, beat the butter to a creamy state, and then add the condensed milk and taste. Have achieved the desired sweetness, carameliness and air consistency of the cream - turn off the mixer and clean the workpiece in the refrigerator.

What kind of snickers without chocolate glaze? 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, is more suitable for such a "crazy" dessert. For cooking, you need 33% cream, if the fat content is less, the glaze will get lighter. You also need a chocolate bar - you can use both milk and dark (for your taste). Heat the cream on medium heat. Chocolate is broken into pieces and thrown into the same saucepan. Stir the mass until a uniform consistency is obtained and removed from the fire. Slightly cool.

Chocolate glaze: economy option

If at home you have cocoa powder, milk and sugar (and for pastry lovers these products are certainly available), then the following recipe is ideal for you. Heat milk on fire (3-4 tablespoons), pour a large spoonful of cocoa and 3 tablespoons of sugar. The number and proportions of components in this case can vary, depending on your taste. All mixed, cook until thick and leave to cool.

It's time to free the workplace for the most interesting stage - the assembly of the cake.

The final part is collecting dessert

It's time to bring our creation to full readiness. To collect a cake "Snickers" with a 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 glaze. We begin with the basics. We put on the croquet dish, on top of the caramel (thick layer of cream from condensed milk), then - air-nut cakes, pressing them tightly to each other. For better impregnation of meringue, it is possible to grind a little (into large pieces). Then again, the cream and the second cake. Boka is also carefully coated and sprinkled with the same chopped nuts that went into the meringue.

We leave the upper cake ungreased. It is generously poured chocolate glaze - so that it drains on the sides and covers the walnut sides. Voilà! Our bomb dessert is almost ready. It remains only to give him time to impregnate - so that the taste is richer, and the cake is softer. We remove it in the refrigerator for several hours and take it directly before serving to the table.

Variations of dessert: a variety of ingredients

So your first cake "Snickers" with meringues and nuts is ready. Step-by-step recipe with a photo helped you to cope with this task so that the result pleased you and your loved ones. In the future, if the dessert is to everyone's liking, you can add a little creativity and experiment with the recipe. What can I change?

First, the nuts. You probably tried the bars "Snickers", which were published in limited editions. At different times the famous chocolate 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 cake "Snickers" with a meringue with variations. Just use in the recipe other nuts or their mix, for example.

In addition, you can experiment with cream - instead of boiled condensed milk take the usual (well combined with almonds and cashew nuts). Alternatively, make a cake filled with caramel. For this you need only cream, sugar and some vanilla. Either make a cream based on milk jelly and butter - a more refined option for lovers of a tender and not very sweet cream.

With glaze the same story - use instead of dark white chocolate, and your dessert will play with new colors and flavors!
