Method
Cake Preparation
Melt Chocolate and Butter
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely.
Peanut Butter Mousse Preparation
Mix Peanut Butter and Cream Cheese
In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain.
Salted Caramel Preparation
Make Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns amber in color, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn it.
Add Butter and Cream
Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the butter and heavy cream, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt.
Assembly
Layer the Cake
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the peanut butter mousse on top of the cake. Drizzle the salted caramel over the mousse.
Serve
Slice the cake and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your Shnickers Bar!
