 Hello ladies and gents this the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Malt chocolate cake




Glistening with malt chocolate butterscotch, this bundt cake is a must-bake.


INGREDIENTS

  • 300g dark (70%) chocolate, chopped
  • 200g unsalted butter, chopped, softened
  • 300g sour cream, at room temperature
  • 125g self-raising flour, sifted
  • 125g plain flour, sifted
  • 40g good-quality dark cocoa powder, sifted
  • 100g malted milk powder
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 200g caster sugar

MALT CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH

  • 60g unsalted butter, chopped
  • 100g brown sugar
  • 125ml thickened cream
  • 1 tbs malted milk powder
  • 25g dark (70%) chocolate, chopped


METHOD

1.Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 20cm bundt pan. Set aside.

2.Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.

3.Place remaining ingredients in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Add cooled chocolate mixture and, using a large whisk or spatula, mix until smooth. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 30 minutes, then invert on a wire rack to cool completely.

4.Make butterscotch when ready to serve. Place butter and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, then stir in malt powder and chocolate. Simmer, stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until melted and smooth. Pour butterscotch over cake to serve.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
