Malted Chocolate Cake

 

Yesterday, was Zac’s birthday celebration and the family was coming for dinner. Zac’s dessert choice for the past 2 years has been blackberries and for some reason, I always think he is telling me he wants blueberries! I know, I have issues. I had decided to make this cake for the rest of us that don’t make such healthy choices, and I’m so glad I did! Maybe my son will forgive me because it was so good!

 

 

 

 

The cake is so moist and is a chocolate lovers dream! The cake was almost completely gone because it’s that good!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2, 9 inch cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the milk and malted milk powder, stirring to dissolve. Add the milk mixture, oil and eggs to the flour mixture. Combine on a medium speed with mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla, mix until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until the middle of the cake springs back. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and let cool completely before frosting.
  5. ICING
  6. In a large bowl, beat the butter and cocoa powder until creamy. In a bowl, combine the cream and malted milk powder, stirring to dissolve. Add the cream mixture to the butter, once it's blended, add the powdered sugar gradually until smooth. Frost the cake.
  7. GANACHE
  8. Heat the cream in a microwavable container and heat until it just begins to simmer. In my microwave it took only 1 minute. Pour chocolate chips in the cream and let stand for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate mixture until its smooth. Pour over the top of the cake, after the cake has been frosted. Place the cake in the fridge and let cool so the ganache can set up.

  10. In a microwave bowl, warm chocolate in microwave 1 minute at a time, stirring in between until it's melted.
  11. In a small bowl, line it with plastic wrap. Dip the rice noodles in the melted chocolate and then letting the excess chocolate to drip off. Using your hands, arrange the noodles in the prepared bowl, to form the nest. Let dry, and then remove nest from the bowl and taking off the plastic wrap. Place on cake and fill with the malted eggs.
