Clark Bar Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, whole milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture until smooth and pour it into the prepared baking pan.

3. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.

4. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.

5. In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

6. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake, making sure it fills all the holes and spreads evenly.

7. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake, allowing it to seep into the peanut butter layers.

8. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the cake, covering the surface evenly.

9. In another small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

10. Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and glossy, creating a ganache.

11. Pour the ganache over the cake, spreading it evenly to cover the entire top.

12. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.

13. Once chilled, slice the Clark Bar Cake into squares and serve to the delight of your guests.
