**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped salted peanuts
– 1 cup caramel sauce
– 1 cup chocolate ganache
– Snickers bars, chopped for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
4. Reduce the speed of your mixer and carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin but this is normal.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
8. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth and fluffy.
9. Place one of the cooled cakes on a serving plate. Spread a layer of caramel sauce on top, followed by a generous amount of the buttercream frosting.
10. Sprinkle a handful of chopped peanuts over the frosting, then carefully place the second cake layer on top.
11. Cover the entire cake with the remaining buttercream frosting. Drizzle chocolate ganache over the top and let it drip down the sides.
12. Garnish the cake with more chopped peanuts and chopped Snickers bars for a beautiful finish.
