BUTTER BRICKLE CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• LINE large baking sheets with parchment paper, trace 3 8-inch circles on sheets. Turn paper over so that you can see the tracings. Preheat oven to 225°F. MIX together 1 cup of the sugar, hazelnuts and cornstarch. USING the whip attachment of large stand mixer, whip egg whites at slow speed until whites are foamy; add cream of tartar. Continue whipping at fast speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 3 tbsp of sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla. REMOVE bowl from mixer stand, gradually fold in the nut mixture with a spatula. Divide mixture between 3 circles and spread into even layers. Bake for about 2 hours or until meringues are lightly coloured and dry. Set aside to cool or store airtight at room temperature. CARAMEL SAUCE: Bring cream to almost boiling and set aside. Combine the sugar with 1/2 cup water in large, deep saucepan. Stir to moisten the sugar. Bring to a simmer, swirling the pan gently to dissolve the sugar. Increase heat and simmer without stirring until syrup begins to colour. Once the syrup turns an amber colour or light caramel colour, remove from heat and add the cream in a steady stream, stirring with a wire whisk. *Caramel and cream will bubble up and steam* (be very careful), but keep stirring and continue to whisk until caramel is completely dissolved and combined with the cream. STIR in pieces of butter until melted and combined. Stir in vanilla and salt. Set aside to cool. WHIPPED CREAM FILLING: Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add icing sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside 1 cup for decoration. Fold 1/2 cup of the Skor chips into the remaining cream. PLACE the 3 meringue layers on work surface, turn 1 layer over to the smooth side (for top layer). Spread a very thin layer of caramel sauce on top layer and chill. LAY 2 remaining meringues on work surface and brush with melted milk chocolate; chill until set. REMOVE all layers from refrigerator and place the bottom layer on serving plate, spread one half of the Skor cream over the first layer, place next layer on top and spread the remaining half of the Skor cream over second layer. Place top layer caramel side up gently on top. FILL a piping bag with a 1/2-inch plain tip with remaining plain cream and pipe 8 rosettes around the outside border of the layer, leaving space between the rosettes. Pipe one rosette in centre of cake. Fill the spaces with Skor bar pieces. DRIZZLE caramel lightly over the whipped cream rosettes. Chill 4 hours before serving. TIP: Any remaining caramel sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks to be used for other desserts.
