How to Make Kit Kat Cake Recipe?
Step 1. Make the Sponges:
- Grease and line two 18cm cake tins.
- Preheat your oven to 180?C (160?C fan assisted).
- Mix sugar, beaten eggs, oil, milk, and golden syrup in a bowl until smooth.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, and bicarbonate of soda, and whisk again until it becomes a smooth batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared tins.
- Bake for around 30 minutes until the cakes are firm and springy on top.
- Let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and let them cool completely.
Step 2. Make the Ganache Frosting:
- Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl and melt gently in the microwave in 30-second bursts.
- Pour in the cream and gently whisk until you get a thick, glossy ganache.
Step 3. Assemble Your KitKat Cake:
- Place one cooled cake on a board and spread about one-third of the frosting on top.
- Put the other cake on top and spread another third of the frosting.
- Use the rest of the frosting to coat the sides of the cake. Try to make it as smooth as possible, but don’t worry too much about perfection because we will cover it up!
- Surround the cake with KitKats, sticking them all around. I like to use them in pairs to speed things up.
- Pour the Smarties onto the top of the cake to create a colorful layer. They don’t need to reach the top of the KitKats.
- Pop the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour to firm up before serving.
