This Snickers Cheesecake Cake is an indulgent layered dessert combining rich chocolate cake, creamy vanilla cheesecake, and chopped Snickers bars, topped with silky chocolate ganache. It’s the perfect celebration cake for lovers of chocolate, caramel, and peanuts.

Ingredients

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs (for cake batter)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (for cake batter)
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 cups chopped Snickers bars (about 12 fun-size bars)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Pour into the pan and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until set. Let cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then stir in hot water. Divide batter between pans and bake for 30–35 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Carefully place the chilled cheesecake layer on top. Add the second chocolate cake layer. Chill the stacked cake for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. To make ganache, heat heavy cream until just boiling, then pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
  5. Press chopped Snickers bars onto the top of the cake while ganache is still slightly soft. Refrigerate until set before serving.

Notes

For a nut-free version, substitute Snickers with a peanut-free candy bar.Use full-fat cream cheese for the best cheesecake texture.Make a day ahead to allow full chilling and easier slicing.Dip a knife in hot water and wipe clean between slices for neat cuts.
