Even though this cake got the best of me last week, it gave me the opportunity to rethink it, and make a cake that is what I believe is a wonderful representation of the classic Twix candy bar. With three layers of shortbread cookies, caramel, and a chocolate icing all covering a moist vanilla cake you can't go wrong. I really hope you give this a try. Thanks for stopping in, and hanging out with me today, I hope your day is an amazing one, and love you all.
