✶ 10-Layer Mars Cake ✶
Ten layers of chocolate and caramel, inspired by the beloved Mars bar. Rich, smooth, and finished with gold and ganache — every slice tells a story of indulgence.
🔘Cake Batter:
3 eggs
160g sugar
2 tbsp honey
62g butter
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
🔘Chocolate Cream:
600 ml heavy whipping cream (35%) (very cold)
1 can condensed milk
100 g chocolate (melted and cooled down)
🔘Chocolate ganache:
170 g chocolate chips
1/2cup heavy whipping cream
🔘Caramel Sauce
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp (28g) butter(room temp)
1 cup heavy whipping cream(hot)
1/2 tsp salt
🔘Prep and baking process:
Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
In the medium saucepan mix butter, eggs, sugar, cocoa powder and honey.
Put the mixture on water bath or place on low heat on the stove.
As soon as the butter dissolves, add baking soda and continue stirring, the mass will start foaming.
Remove from heat and add flour. Mix flour with the mixture.
Pour 4-5tbsp of flour on the table and transfer the dough on the table. Carefully knead the dough like on the video. When dough is ready, it will not stick to your hands.
Divide the dough into 10 parts! The diameter of my cake is 8 inch.
Roll out each piece on a sheet of parchment paper dusting with flour into a thin layer and cut into 8 inch round. Fork the dough and bake each round layer for about 5 minutes.
After you are done with your cake layers start making your chocolate cream.
Start by whipping your heavy whipping cream at low speed gradually increasing.
As soon as the mass begins to thicken a little, pour condensed milk in a thin stream and continue whipping.
When the mass thickens, reduce the speed and add pre-melted and already cooled chocolate.
You will have a delicate chocolate cream.
Start assembling the cake one by one.
On each cake layer spread chocolate cream and drizzle with caramel.
Continue until you will be done with your cake layers.
On the last layer spread the remaining cream and even out the whole cake.
Top the sides of the cake with ganache drip and spread caramel in the middle. Decorate with mars chocolate and add gold leaves (optional).
Cut, Serve and Enjoy ♥️

The 10-layer Mars cake combines multiple rich flavors and textures, inspired by the classic Mars bar candy. Each cake layer is light yet moist, achieved by carefully preparing the chocolate batter with eggs, cocoa powder, baking soda, and honey. Dividing the batter into ten thin layers ensures a delicate balance between cake and filling. The creamy chocolate filling made from whipped heavy cream, condensed milk, and melted chocolate creates a silky, luscious texture that complements the moist cake layers beautifully. Incorporating caramel sauce between layers adds a sweet, buttery contrast that enhances the overall complexity of flavors. This caramel is prepared by carefully melting sugar until golden, then blending it with butter, hot cream, and a pinch of salt for perfect balance. The chocolate ganache drizzle on the final assembled cake offers a smooth, glossy finish, enriching both taste and appearance. The optional gold leaf decoration on top adds an elegant touch for a stunning presentation. For optimal results, ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping and melt the chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Baking each thin cake layer for only about 5 minutes keeps them tender and prevents dryness. Using parchment paper and dusting with flour facilitates easy handling and even shapes. This layered cake requires some patience and precision but results in a decadent dessert suitable for celebrations or special occasions. By following the preparation steps carefully, you can impress guests with this complex yet rewarding Mars-inspired cake that offers a harmonious blend of chocolate, caramel, and cream.
