The cake
- 600 ml double cream
- 4 Tbsp. malt powder – we used Horlicks
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. icing sugar
- 250 g Maltesers, roughly chopped
- 300 g malted milk biscuits, plus extra to decorate, optional
To decorate
- 125 ml double cream
- 100 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. golden syrup
- Party rings and smarties, to decorate, optional
- Step 1
Lightly oil an 18cm loose-bottom cake tin, then line with clingfilm. In a large bowl, whip the cream, Horlicks, vanilla and icing sugar to soft peaks. Fold in two thirds of the Maltesers.
- Step 2
Line the bottom of the tin with about a third of the biscuits, then spread with about a third of the whipped cream mixture. Repeat twice more, finishing with cream. Transfer to the fridge and chill overnight.
- Step 3
The next day, make the chocolate sauce. Heat the cream, chocolate and syrup in a small pan over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Step 4
Release cake from the tin and put on a serving plate. Carefully take off the clingfilm. Pour the sauce over the top, encouraging it to drip down the sides. Top with remaining Maltesers and extra biscuits, if you like, to decorate. Smarties and party rings can also be optionally added.
