How To Make The Best Ever Twix Cake

Despite how intricately amazing this cake looks, it really isn’t complicated to make. It’s even easier when you use a boxed cake mix instead of a homemade recipe, which is what I did this time around. The frosting, however, I’ll always make from scratch. But it’s quick and easy, too.

Ingredients Needed to Make a Twix Layered Cake

In addition to chocolate cake and the ingredients for the frosting, you will also need some caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, and several Twix bars. You will find the entire ingredients and instructions in the printable recipe below.

Putting It All Together

Building this Twix Cake is a cinch! Make sure the cakes are completely cooled and the frosting is at room temperature before you start. I’ll walk you through how to put a layered cake together below.

First, using a cake slicer, bread knife, or any other serrated knife, slice lightly across the top of any high spots on each cake layer so they each have a flat top.

Place one of the cake layers onto the cake board. Scoop about 1 cup of caramel frosting onto the cake and smooth it over the top evenly using the off-set knife. It’s ok if some of the frosting hangs over the edges.

Now place the second cake layer on top of the frosted first layer. Using another cup of frosting, coat the top of the second cake layer evenly. Then place the final layer on top of it.

Next, frost the entire cake with some of the remaining frosting (making sure to leave enough for the final steps). Use the cake smoother to ensure the sides are frosted evenly.

Add caramel sauce around the top edge of the cake so
that the sauce drips down the sides of the cake. I find it easiest to use a squeeze bottle of sauce. Repeat with the chocolate sauce.

Next, using an icing bag and star tip, pipe dollops of frosting around the top edge of the cake. Then, place pieces of Twix candy bars into the frosting until you are happy with how it looks.

And that’s it! Doesn’t it look simply scrumptious?

Storing A Twix Chocolate Layer Cake

Although this cake is delicious, I doubt you’ll eat it all in one day. Luckily, you can keep the Twix cake in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.

And if you have a few slices that you want to keep hidden for another day, you can freeze this cake for up to 1 month; just make sure it is well wrapped before freezing.
