Maltesers Birthday layer cake
65g self raising flour
65g room temperature butter
65g golden caster sugar
35g Horlicks
1/3 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1.5 tbsp milk
1.5 tbsp boiling water
For the ganache:
150g dark chocolate
150 ml cream
For decoration:
2 packets of Maltesers
Method
For the cakes:
This is the mixture for a 5" tin - you make two batches and then split each
one into two.
Preheat the oven to 180C. Butter and line the bottom of a 5" tin. Cream the
softened butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and
beat in. Sieve the flour, baking powder and Horlicks into the bowl and then
fold in until nearly combined. Add the milk and fold again, then finally add
the boiling water. Quickly spoon into the tin and put in the oven. Bake for
about 20-25 minutes or until deep gold and a skewer comes out clean.
For the ganache:
Break the chocolate up into small pieces and put into a bowl. Heat the cream
then pour over the chocolate. Leave for a few minutes and then beat in.
For decoration:
Split the cakes carefully into two. Sandwich them with some of the ganache,
then cover with a crumb coat. Put it the fridge to set slightly. While it is
cooling, chop the Maltesers.
Remove the cake from the fridge and use the remaining ganache to cover the
cake. Starting from the top, arrange the Maltesers in the desired pattern,
then go down the sides, being careful when placing the pale-side-out halves.
Put in the fridge for ten minutes or so, then serve. Best eaten on the day.
