Malted Chocolate Cake! So delicious! If you don’t like malt flavor, don’t worry. This frosting doesn’t taste like malt. In fact, no one knew there was any malt powder in this, but it does give the frosting an unusual sweetness and depth of flavor. I know I claim that a lot of things are my favorite, but this frosting is my favorite so far. If you like chocolate (or even if you don’t), go make this cake!

Ingredients

Icing

  • 20 chocolate, to decorate

  • 1 tbsp. boiling water

  • 50 g dark chocolate

  • 250 g icing sugar

  • 125 g butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 tbsp. hot milk

  • 3 tbsp. malted chocolate drink powder

Cake

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 225 g self-raising flour

  • 225 g caster sugar

  • 225 g butter, softened

  • 30 g cocoa powder

  • 30 g malted chocolate drink powder

Method

  • 01
    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease two 20cm round sandwich tins with butter and line the bases with baking paper.
  • 02
    Measure the malted chocolate drink powder and cocoa powder into a large bowl, pour over 2tbsp water and mix to a paste. Add the remaining cake ingredients and beat until smooth.
  • 03
    Divide evenly between the prepared tins and bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes. Set aside in the tins to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 04
    For the icing, measure the malted chocolate drink powder into a bowl, add the hot milk and mix until smooth. Add the butter, icing sugar and melted chocolate and mix again until smooth, then add 1tbsp boiling water to give a gloss to the icing.
  • 05
    Place one cake on a plate and spread over half the icing. Sandwich with the other cake and spread (or pipe) the remaining icing on top, using the tip of a rounded palette knife to create a swirled effect from the center to the edge of the cake.
  • 06
    Arrange the chocolate over the top and dust with icing sugar before serving.
