KitKat is one of my favourite chocolates, one of my many favourites, right up there with Snickers. How wonderful would it be to combine a favourite cake and your favourite chocolate? Sounds like a dream come true? I tried this initially as a trial for the birthday party which never materialized, so instead I baked it for a recent Pot Luck. I wanted it to make something which looked really pretty but would also look super fancy so I thought of a Chocolate KitKat Cake. You can never go wrong with a Chocolate cake at a Party anyway, and if it’s surrounded by KitKat – looks even better.
If there was a dessert Fashion Show, I can assure you this would have been the Show Stopper! There was a queue for this cake, children and adults alike and the cake was wiped out in 15 minutes flat.
I make this with a Chocolate cake but you can really use any cake recipe you like with a Chocolate Icing. If you use anything besides Chocolate icing it may not look as pretty and fancy – but one can always try!
Ingredients:
1 Chocolate Cake of your choice
1.5 Recipe of Chocolate Butter Cream Icing
22 Fingers of Kit Kat – Buy the 2 finger packs
400g Peanut M&M’s
1.5 M Ribbon of your choice
Directions:
1. Split the cake into 2 to form 2 layers for icing.
2. Apply the icing to the first layer, then the second and finally all around to complete it
3. Start adding the Kit Kat’s to form a fence. Add 2 pieces Kit Kat together with enough
distance for a knife to pass through
4. Add the M&M’s to form a layer on top
5. If the Kit Kat looks like it has started to melt let it cool in the fridge before you tie the ribbon around
