• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 cup of caramel sauce

• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

• 1 mixing bowl
• 1 hand or stand mixer
• 1 9-inch round cake pan
• 1 wire cooling rack
• 1 spatula
• 1 knife for slicing the cake

It’s also a good idea to have some parchment paper, measuring cups, and spoons handy.

Remember to read the recipe instructions thoroughly before you start. This way, you won’t miss any important details!

Prepare the Cake Base

Learn how to make a moist and flavorful cake base that will serve as the foundation for your Twix cake.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you begin making the cake base, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. This includes:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup of milk
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 3 large eggs

Mix the Dry Ingredients

To start making the cake base, you need to mix the dry ingredients together. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk or a fork to make sure the ingredients are well incorporated.

Add the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. Then, add in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense and tough cake.

Bake the Cake Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan, ensuring that the entire surface is coated. Pour the cake batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Remove from Pan

Once the cake base is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan and ensure that it maintains its shape.

Wrap Up

Now that you have learned how to make a delicious cake base, you are ready to move on to the next steps in creating your Twix cake. Remember to let the cake cool completely before adding any additional layers or toppings.

Create the Decadent Caramel Layer

Discover the secret to making a rich and gooey caramel layer that will perfectly complement the cake and replicate the caramel filling of a Twix bar.

Gather the Ingredients

Before you begin making the caramel layer, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. You will need:

• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Prepare the Caramel Sauce

To create the delicious caramel sauce, follow these steps:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.

3. Continue boiling until the mixture turns a golden amber color. This should take about 10 minutes.
4. Once the desired color is reached, remove the saucepan from heat.
5. Carefully pour in the heavy cream while continuously stirring. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up.
6. Add the butter and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the caramel is smooth and well-combined.

Tip: Make sure to keep a close eye on the caramel sauce as it can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.

Layer the Caramel onto the Cake

After preparing the caramel sauce, it’s time to layer it onto the cake. Follow these steps:

1. Place the cake on a serving platter or cake stand.
2. Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread a generous layer of caramel sauce onto the top of the cake.
3. Allow the caramel to drip down the sides of the cake for a beautiful and indulgent look.
4. If desired, you can also drizzle additional caramel sauce on top for added flavor and decoration.

Let the Caramel Set

Once you’ve applied the caramel layer, it’s important to let it set before serving. This will give the caramel time to cool and firm up slightly.

Pro tip: Place the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to speed up the caramel setting process.

Once the caramel layer has set, you can slice and serve the delicious Twix cake to your family and friends. The decadent caramel layer will add a burst of flavor and a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of the beloved Twix bar.

Now that you know the secret to creating a delectable caramel layer for your Twix cake, you can enjoy the rich and gooey goodness whenever you desire. Happy baking!

1. Prepare the Cake Layers

Start by baking two layers of your favorite chocolate cake. You can use a store-bought mix or make your own from scratch. The key is to ensure that the cake layers are evenly baked and fully cooled before assembling the cake.

• Tip: To add a twist to your Twix cake, you can also try making a caramel-flavored cake or adding crushed Twix candy bars to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

2. Make the Caramel Filling

While the cake layers are cooling, prepare the caramel filling. You can make a simple caramel sauce by heating sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan until the sugar has melted and the mixture has thickened. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before using it in the cake.

The chocolate ganache will not only add a glossy finish to the cake but also enhance its flavor. To make the ganache, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth and shiny.

4. Layer the Cake with Caramel and Ganache

Once the cake layers, caramel filling, and chocolate ganache are ready, it’s time to assemble the Twix cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of caramel filling on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with a smooth layer of chocolate ganache.

Don’t be afraid to be generous with the caramel and ganache layers. The more, the better!
