- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

For the caramel sauce:
- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and peanut butter, mixing until smooth. Add heavy cream and vanilla and mix until fluffy.
- Prepare the caramel sauce by melting sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown. Remove from heat and carefully mix in butter and heavy cream. Allow to cool.
- Once cooled, frost one layer of the cake, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle chopped Snickers. Place the second layer on top and repeat the process.
- Finish off with more frosting, additional caramel, and top with chopped Snickers and chocolate ganache if desired.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy this decadent Snickers Inspired Candy Bar Cake!
