What is Snickers Cake?
Snickers cake is basically a combination of ingredients that match the taste of a Snickers bar. There are ingredients that are combined together to make the cake batter. Then, there are great ingredients that are topped to decorate. An example is mini Snickers, which are placed on top of the cake or full sized candy bars that are cut down.
How to Store Snickers Cake?
The best way to store a Snickers cake is by placing it into an airtight container. For any cake recipe, the best type of airtight container is one specifically for a cake. These air-tight containers are very large and wide to keep the icing from getting messed up, or your cake from getting squished.
