Caramel Nougat Bar Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Whip egg whites to soft peaks. Melt chocolate. Toast the almonds and the pistachios and keep warm. Cook the honey to 166 degrees F (130 degrees C) in a copper pot. In another pot, cook the sugar, water, and glucose to 338 degrees F (170 degrees C). Gradually pour into the whipped egg whites, the honey then the sugar mixture. Let whip on high for 3 minutes then remove the whisk. Fold the melted and hot chocolate into the whites, followed by the warm nuts. Press into a frame that is 25 mm in thickness, and leave overnight to cool. Place a 5 mm frame directly on top of the frame that is around the nougat. Adhere the 2 frames with a little melted chocolate.
• In a pot warm cream and baking soda. In a copper pot cook the sugar, water, and the glucose to 293 degrees F (145 degrees C). Deglaze the sugar, slowly, with the cream that was warmed with the baking soda. Re-cook together to 244 degrees F (118 degrees C) and finish by adding the butter that has been cut into small cubes. Pour over the nougat and let rest overnight.
• Cut the nougat bars into the desired shape and dip in tempered chocolate. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet, and line with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on long sides; set aside. Spread nuts on another rimmed baking sheet. Toast until nuts are fragrant and lightly golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a clean surface; spread evenly, and let cool completely. Coarsely chop, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 2 sticks of butter with the brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With mixer on low speed, add flour and a pinch of salt; mix until just combined.
• Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet, and cover with parchment paper. Using a wine bottle or small rolling pin, roll along the length of pan to smooth dough. (Alternatively, press the dough into the pan with the back of a large spoon.) Bake until lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Combine granulated sugar, cream of tartar, remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 cupwater in a wide, heavy-bottom saucepan. Cook over high heat, without stirring, until some sugar begins to melt and turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until sugar is completely melted, mixture is deep golden, and a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees (hard-crack stage). Stirring constantly, carefully pour cream slowly down the side of the pan (it will spatter) until fully combined. Remove from heat; add remaining 1/4 stick butter and stirto combine.Transfer caramel to a heatproof bowl to cool for 10 minutes.
• Stir in nuts; spread caramel mixture over cooled crust. Bake until caramel is set, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into 3-by-2-inch bars. Bars can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
• Melt caramel candy in a small saucepan or a microwave oven.
• Add 1/2 of the box of pudding to the cake mix, then prepare according to instructions on box. Pour 1/2 of the batter into a Bundt pan.
• Drizzle melted caramels over batter, then pour the remaining cake batter over the caramel.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean. Cool completely, then frost.
• To make the frosting: Beat milk chocolate frosting, cream cheese and remaining 1/2 of the pudding mix. Frost cake. Chill cake at least 1 hour and serve with a big glass of milk. Yummy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Reserve 1 cup cake mix for topping. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, flour, oil and remaining cake mix; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 2 minutes. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking pan., In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans and reserved cake mix; stir in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
