I made mine in a 9" springform since I don't have an 8". I should've adjusted the baking time accordingly, because I baked mine for 30 minutes (the receipe says 40-45) and it was a little dry- did anyone else have that problem?
These are not baked beans- it's the caramel/peanut topping. The recipe says to cook until the caramel is a rich, dark brown, which seems a little ambiguous to me. It says to cook 10 minutes, but mine took longer than that. Then, I stepped away for a minute, came back, and it was D-A-R-K! Darn the 2 year old and 1 year old rascals!
I think it turned out ok, though. Since the caramel was a little overcooked, we served it warmed with vanilla ice cream. Only one slice for my husband and me and the rest was given away!

LOL! It DOES look like baked beans!! Great job! I couldn't get myself to do another chocolate thing. I will be back for next week!!
ReplyDeleteHahah that is so funny, it totally does look like baked beans! That looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job with your Snickers like cake! And I agree, it does resemble baked beans in the pot! Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou did not have the only dry cake -- from what I've read, lots of us had that problem! And that caramel is sneaky sneaky stuff -- turn away for one second, and it chooses that moment to reach its apex of caramel goodness and start to burn. Yours sounds like it was salvageable, anyway -- mine was outright burned. Your pictures are fabulous and your cake looks perfect!!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ baked beans comparison! I was totally thinking that when I saw it. Glad you were able to save your caramel. It looks delicious!

Cake look delicious...baked beans...hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLucky you and your husband that this was picked! IT's probably safer to give away the rest, although I also had a problem with a slightly dry cake.
ReplyDeleteYour caramel looks delicious. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. If this one had turned out perfect, there would be no way I could keep it in the house, either. I would be eating that morning, noon and night! Dangerous!
ReplyDeleteThat is really funny that you said they are not baked beans. I just remembered as I was scooping the peanuts onto the cake my daughter asked "Why are you putting baked beans on the cake!" I will have to go back and add that to my post! :)
ReplyDeleteice cream sounds like the perfect accompaniment! thanks for making my pick
ReplyDeleteUm...try zapping it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time...that is what I did today with my plate that was coated in it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Vanilla ice cream is the perfect partner!
ReplyDeleteyum! it looks delicious. yea, too dry... i will definitely underbake if i make this again!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that elusive perfect caramel. Yours sure looks delish!
ReplyDeleteMine was dry too.
My cake was kind of dry at the edges... will underbake too next time.
