- 3/4 cup Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup White Granulated Sugar
- 1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the canola oil, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, sour cream, and buttermilk. Slowly incorporate the hot water.
- Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 38-43 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. For the caramel, melt sugar in a saucepan until amber, then stir in butter and heavy cream.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and peanut butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and then heavy cream until smooth.
- Once the cake has cooled, level it, poke holes in the top, drizzle caramel, frost with peanut butter frosting, and decorate with Snickers.
Notes
- Ensure flour is spooned and leveled.
- Regular cocoa can substitute for Dutch cocoa.
- Check freshness of baking powder and soda.
