The main feature of bento cakes is that they are very small - literally for one time. But this is really a cake, not a cake – with cakes, cream and beautiful decorations. This time I propose to cook everyone's favorite "Snickers".

Step-by-step cooking recipe
Sift and mix the dry ingredients for the dough. Add milk, egg and both types of butter, and mix everything until smooth.
Pour the dough into a small split mold and bake for 40-50 minutes in the oven at 170 degrees.
Let the sponge cake cool and cut it into 3 cakes. From each cake, using a round mold or a suitable plate, cut out circles with a diameter of 10-12 cm.
For caramel, melt the sugar in a saucepan, warm it up until dark and gradually add cold butter.
Pour in warm cream, add salt and immediately remove the caramel from the heat. Let it cool down a little.
For the cream, whisk the soft butter with powdered sugar, add the cheese and vanilla, and whisk again. Transfer the cream to a pastry bag.
Smear the first cake with cream, then spread the cream around the perimeter of the cake, forming a rim. Put caramel inside, and fried peanuts on top.
Put the second cake on top, also smear it with cream, peel off the rim and lay out the caramel with peanuts. Cover with the third cake. Line the whole cake with the remaining cream and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
For the glaze, melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath, add vegetable oil and mix until smooth. Pour the icing over the finished cake and decorate with peanuts.
