03 Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease two 20cm round sandwich tins with butter and line the bases with baking paper.
Step 2

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.
Step 3

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.
Step 4

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.
Step 5

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.
Step 6

Arrange the chocolate over the top and dust with icing sugar before serving.
