And particularly if you’re frosting or icing challenged, such as me, I am not sure such a term actually exists, but you understand what I mean, correct? Then you have more reason to try this Kit Kat cake. I insist!

KIT KAT CAKE INGREDIENTS

This effortless Kit Kat cake requires quite basic ingredients.

1. Cake mix or the usual flour, sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, etc. you require in order to create a cake from scratch
2. Homemade or Store-bought chocolate frosting or any other frosting of your choice.
3. Kit Kat bars and loads of m&m candies.

Wondering just how many kit kat bars for this cake are all needed? I have used about 39, to be exact, which was enough to cover my 8-inch, two-layered kit kat cake. You would need more or less determined by how large or small your cake is, even if it’s a two-tier kit kat cake, or a rectangular kit kat cake, etc.

Ensure that the height of this cake is less than the height of this kit kat bars.

YOU WILL NEED 3 COMPONENTS TO MAKE KIT KAT AND M&M CAKE RECIPE

This KitKat wrapped cake comes together in 3 simple steps.

• The cake base
• The frosting
• Layering, frosting, and adding the final finishing touches…. the absolute fun part!

Let’s discuss the cake base for a minute, shall we? I’ve employed my go-to chocolate cake recipe with this foundation, which is also known as crazy cake or wacky cake, or even Depression cake. I believe it’s the greatest, fuss-free chocolate cake, created with no dairy or eggs, none of which I have an issue with, but I simply love how decadent and moist that this cake turns out!

You simply need one bowl to make this amazingly delicious and moist chocolate cake, fewer things to clean Bonus!

Now that we’ve got our foundation sorted let’s move on to the frosting. You can use store-bought frosting if you desire, but if you take the problem of earning a cake from scratch, then I’d also recommend you attempt making a curry from scratch. It is so simple, and you’ll love the homemade stuff. I’ve already shared a comprehensive article on my favorite chocolate frosting, which you will find here.

This candy cake is basically a chocolate cake with a KitKat edge; it tastes much like a normal chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. The Kit Kat’s and M&M’s certainly add an interesting feel. But I nearly got a sugar rush from finishing one slice. So, though I’ve given the serving size of 8 individuals, I believe that it is simple to increase it to 12 people.

The Way to MAKE KIT KAT AND M&M CAKE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH

STEP 1: FOR THE CHOCOLATE CAKE BASE

• P.s. I’m resharing stepwise pictorials for reference from the mad chocolate cake recipe I’ve shared before.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepares 2 inches round cake pans by greasing it with oil and lining the base of the pan with pre-cut parchment paper. Trace the shape of the pan by placing it over the parchment paper, then trim and put the reverse side of this paper to the bottom of the pan.
• Sieve the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and coffee powder in a mixing bowl. Add sugar and salt and whisk to blend everything nicely.
• Make 3 depressions from the dry ingredients — just two small, one bigger. Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other, and vegetable oil in the bigger depression.
• Pour water over all, combine well just until combined and no longer flour pockets are visible. The batter may have a few lumps, and that is fine, don’t over mix.
• Divide the batter equally between the two cake pans, then tap on the pans onto the countertop to remove air bubbles. Bake on the center rack for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack, let it cool completely before frosting. You can cover the cake and then refrigerate it until you are ready to suspend it. Note: Oven baking times may vary; check your cake to prevent over-baking it; however, assess no sooner than 30 minutes.

STEP 2: FOR THE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

This recipe will yield will about 2 cups of frosting; scale the recipe by 1.5 times to cover the entire 8-inch two-layer cake.

STEP 3: ASSEMBLING THE CAKE

When the cake has completely cooled down, then scrape off the dome shape of the cake with the help of a long serrated knife to have a flat top. Also, transfer some cream to a piping bag and snip off the edge of the piping bag before beginning piping, then pipe out the layers in between. I do so, so the cream layer looks even all over. You will simply transfer the lotion with the help of a spatula if that is convenient for you.

• Put just a little chocolate frosting on the serving dish or cake stand.
• Transfer the initial layer to the stand. Brush it liberally with sugar syrup.
• Pipe out the chocolate frosting in circular motions starting from the outer circumference towards the middle. Smooth out the sandpaper using an offset spatula.
• Repeat the same with the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake well. It doesn’t have to be perfect, which means you really don’t need to smooth it out.
• Line the Kit Kat bars vertically by sticking them into the sides of the cake; it ought to stick pretty well to the frosting. If not, apply some frosting on the back of the kit kat bar and adhere it. Wrap a bow around the Kit Kat’s to fasten them in place.
• Fill out the top of the cake with M&M’s. This cake will remain well for up to 3 days at room temperature or cover and store in the refrigerator up to 5 times. Take a break to have a KitKat cake slice.

NOTES

• You can use 1 (15.25 ounce ) of chocolate cake mix and bake in 2 8-inch cake pans according to package directions. Replace every egg to get 1/4 cup yogurt for an eggless version.
• Refrigerate the Kit Kat’s so that they don’t smudge if you adhere them to the cake.
