Hello and welcome to Todd's kitchen, today your in for a real treat
Todays cake i have seen plastered all over the internet
and i have a friends birthday coming up and they asked me to make it for them
So join me today as i make my version of a Kit Kat and M&M cake
To start of with we have a sieve over a bowl and place in our plain all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of bi carb soda
then our cocoa powder
then sieve it all though
next make a well
in the centre
then crack in two eggs
then add our melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup butter milk
1 cup super fine sugar
Then with a hand mixer we are going to beat this
for about 4 minutes on high
until it comes out thick and creamy
it should look like this
OH yummy :)
Next i have a spring form pan here
and i have lined the base with non stick baking paper
Give it a light grease with cooking spray oil
Now just poor the mixture into the spring form pan
Just using the back of a spoon
Just even it out nicely
just like this
Now we are going to place this into a pre heated oven
a hundred eighty degrees celsius
for 40 to 45 minutes
Now i have just taken this out of the oven
If it springs back that means its ready
also just use a wooden skewer
insert in into the centre just like so
if it comes out clean, its ready.
So what im going to do is take this out of the spring form pan
and leave it on this wire rack
to cool for a good two hours.
So now the cake has cooled
we are going to cut some of the outer
border of this cake of
you want to cut of the thickness of a Kit Kat
So here is a Kit Kat i have already cut up
So you want it to be the same thickness as that
So we are going to cut all around this cake
until we have a nice and even border
So thats what your left with, feel free to eat the ring :)
im going to put it aside for now
next into a bowl with a sieve on a bowl we are going to place in our icing sugar
and then our cocoa powder
Now sieve the mixture through
with some boiling hot water we are going to put in a small amount at a time
and we are going to keep mixing it until we get a very thick paste
now grabbing our icing mixture that we just made up
we are just going to
work it around the side
as best you can
just until the cake is completely covered
around the whole outside
and what this is going to do is its going to act like a glue
for the kit kats
once done it should look like this, not its not the prettiest job
but that makes no difference what so ever
because its going to be completely covered
next we are going to put back the outer ring
and place it back on to the cake
ok next we are going to grab
the main ingredients
The Kit Kat's. So unwrap then
and break them into lots of two
so now its just a simple matter of placing the kit kat's
and placing them around the boarder
just like so, making sure they are straight as you go
ok so thats what your left with
a lovely boarder of kit kats
now we are going to place this in the fridge to set
while we get started on the filling
into a mixing bowl place in our thickened cream or whipping cream
Now whisk on high until soft peaks start to form
ok soft peaks are starting to form
but i want this a little thicker because we will be resting M&M's on top of it
So whip it for another 20 seconds and it should be perfect
ok thats exactly how we want it
nice and thick
so i have just pulled our base out of the fridge
grabbing our
thick cream
just put it right on top
and just spread it out
until its nice and even
Next we are going to grab our packet of M&M's
and sprinkle them on top
next place it back in the fridge for 30 minutes
just to completely set
and give a chance for the cream to stick to the Kit Kats
Just so the Kit Kats don't fall out of course
and it will be ready to serve up
ok so it's all done
its like a work of art
it looks absolutely delicious YUMMY
This will be perfect for a kids part or even an adults party
it takes a bit of work to get done
but its worth it in the end
and it just looks fantastic. Thank you for watching this episode of Todd's kitchen
