Malteser Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ok, so if you have been reading my blog since the very beginning you will know that one of my first recipes was a chocolate cake! Well since then I have been using the Tanya Burr Sunday Cake recipe in order to make my chocolate cakes, and all I have to say is that it is absolutely gorgeous!

And to make it even better I have added my own semi twist by adding chocolate chips and Maltese's to it!

Let's Do This!

Prep Time; 10 minutes                               Difficultly; Easy Peasy!

Cook Time; 18- 20 minutes

You Will Need!

170g Butter. Softened

170g Cater Sugar

3 Eggs

140g Self- Raising Flour, sifted

30g Cocoa Powder

1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder

For the Butter Icing;

90g Butter, Softened

170g Icing Sugar

Cocoa Powder To Taste!

Maltesers and Chocolate Chips To Decorate!

Feel free to go crazy on the decorations!

First, pre heat the oven to 180 and line two 2 x 21 round loose bottom cake tins.

Next, Cream the butter and sugar until creamy and much paler in colour!

Add the eggs and combine, then add the sifter flour, cocoa powder and baking paper and mix well together!

Divide the batter into the two cake tines, the cake batter may look shallow but it will rise into two beautiful cakes! You will then want to place the cakes into the oven for 18- 20 minutes!

Allow to cool and prepare the icing!

For the icing you will need to cream the butter, so that it is smooth and creamy, then add the icing sugar and mix until fully incorporated!

When the cake it cool, and it must be fully cool, you can now spread the icing on the two sponges and then sandwich together! 

Now spread icing all over the sides and the top of the cake, and now you can decorate it with your favourite sweets!
