KitKat Cake

This is a recipe from "Kuchengeschichten".

My friend gave me a large KitKat Chocolate bar from her last trip to Poland. But they were too sweet for me. I just had one piece and the chocolate bar was sitting on my table.

I finally thought about using it for a dessert or a cake, but most cakes were using whole pieces  surrounding a baking dish to be filled with a batter.

After a longer research I found this recipe:

Use a 25 cm loaftin.  

Preheat the oven to 180 C

180 g KitKat

175 g mandarines from a can - save the juice

200 g butter soft unsalted

160 g sugar

4 eggs

200 g flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 package Dr.Oetker vanilla pudding powder

Pinch of salt

Pinch of vanilla

Topping:

2 tbsp mandarine juice

100 g icing sugar

Some broken KitKat pieces

Drain the can of mandarines and save the juice.

Chop the KitKat.

In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs beat in between. 

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and pudding together and add to the mix. 

Now in the the mandarines, that will loosen the batter. Stir in the KitKat.

Either butter the loaftin very good or use baking paper.

Bake for 1 hour 15 min. Check with a wooden skewer if the cake is done.

When cooled down make the glaze. The cake us best kept in the fridge.
