How To Make candy bar layer pumpkin cake

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Add sliced Snickers and Baby Ruth bars and 1 cup chocolate chips on both cake pans; mix well.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, pumpkin, water, oil, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Carefully spoon the batter over the chocolate mixture in each pan.
  • Step 4
    Bake 25 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Step 5
    To make the special chocolate frosting, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until blended and smooth. Set aside.
  • Step 6
    Place a cake layer on a serving plate and spread with half of the frosting. Top with sliced Milky Way and Zero bars. Season with remaining pumpkin pie spice.
  • Step 7
    Place the second layer onto the cake and frost top and sides with remaining 2/3 frosting. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips all over the cake. Store loosely covered in the refrigerator.
