KitKat Rocky Road Recipe | How To Make Cakes With 5 Ingredients And No Oven

mini marshmallows

🥗Healthier: dried fruit

💰Cheaper: marshmallow fluff

Dried fruit adds natural sweetness and reduces sugar content.

chocolate frosting

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt frosting

💰Cheaper: store-bought frosting

Greek yogurt reduces calories while providing creaminess.

chopped walnuts

🥗Healthier: chopped pecans

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are more affordable and nut-free.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Cake flour can yield a lighter texture for cakes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth; it will be thin.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to cool completely on wire racks.

Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top.

Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chopped walnuts over the frosting.

Top with the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Decorate the sides with KitKat bars, pressing them gently into the frosting.

Finish by sprinkling more mini marshmallows and walnuts on top, if desired.
