Triple Malt Chocolate Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the Frosting:.
• Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitter with a paddle attachment, and beat on low speed until sugar is incorporated.
• Increase speed to medium high and beat until mixture is light and whipped, about 3 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle.
• Add remaining ingredients and return to low speed until ingredients are incorporated. Increase speed to medium high and continue whipping until frosting is evenly combined and light, about 3 minutes.
• Cover and store in fridge until ready to use. Take out 30 minutes before anticipated need to let soften up a bit.
• For the Cake:.
• Heat the oven to 325°F and arrange the rack in the middle.
• Coat 2 (8-inch) cake pans with oil and flour, and tap out any excess flour. Set aside.
• Combine malted milk powder, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl, and whisk to aerate and break up any lumps.
• Set aside.
• Combine eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla in a separate large bowl, and whisk until combined and smooth.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, and whisk until just incorporated.
• Add 1/2 of the milk, and whisk until smooth. Continue with remaining flour mixture and milk, alternating between each and whisking until all ingredients are just incorporated and smooth.
• Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the cakes start pulling away from the sides of the pans, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove cakes from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the perimeter of each, and turn cakes out onto the rack to cool completely.
• For the Asembly:.
• To frost, place a cake layer on an 8-inch cardboard round, a tart-pan bottom, or a cake plate.
• Evenly spread about 1/3 of the frosting over the top of the layer.
• Stack the second layer, and evenly spread another 1/3 of the frosting over the top and sides of the whole cake. (Don't worry about looks at this point-this is just a basecoat, a.k.a. a crumb layer, and it will be covered up later.) Place in the refrigerator until frosting is set up and slightly hard, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the refrigerator and spread remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, ensuring it's as even as possible. Press malt balls into the frosting around the sides of the cake and serve or chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper, then butter the parchment. Dust the pans with flour and tap out any excess.
• Whisk the flour, malted milk powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a separate large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat until smooth, about 1 more minute.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans; tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers of the cakes comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack; run a knife around the edges of the cakes and let cool 10 minutes, then turn out the cakes onto the rack to cool completely. Discard the parchment.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: Whisk the milk, malted milk powder, flour, cocoa powder and salt in a small saucepan until combined. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking, until the mixture is thick like pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate until completely cool, about 11/2 hours.
• When you¿re ready to assemble the cake, finish the frosting: Remove the malted mixture from the refrigerator and whisk until creamy. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add large spoonfuls of the malted mixture, beating 1 to 2 minutes after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed (the frosting will look separated). Continue beating until the frosting comes together and is light and fluffy, about 3 more minutes. (Do not chill!)
• Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter. Spread with 1 heaping cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the top and side with more frosting, then build up a ring around the top of the cake with the remaining frosting to create a nest. Refrigerate the cake until the frosting firms up, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Toss the shredded wheat in a large bowl with the melted butter, then add the sugar and toss again. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Melt the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring, until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in the shredded wheat mixture until completely coated. Press the topping all over the top and side of the cake. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes or overnight. Fill the nest with candy eggs.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then beat in the vanilla. In three additions, beat in the flour mixture, alternating with additions of the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour. Fold in the chocolate. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely, and then remove the cake from the pan using the parchment overhangs to lift it out.
• For the frosting: In a large bowl, whisk together the malt powder, cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Let cool.
• Add the butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Add the chocolate and salt and beat until smooth and thick. Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake.

Steps:

• CAKE: preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut two parchment paper circles to fit in the bottom of two 9 inch cake pans and lightly butter or spray the parchment paper and the pan sides.
• Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, malted milk powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Place the eggs in another large bowl and beat well. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla to the eggs and stir until combined.
• Slowly add the boiling water and mix well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until smooth.
• Pour half of the batter into each of the prepared pans and bake for 40 minutes or until the cake springs back when gently pressed in the center.
• Remove the cakes from the pans, remove the parchment paper and place on wire reacks to cool.
• FROSTING:.
• Place the chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave on high heat for 1 minute, then stir. If the chocolate is not all melted, place it back in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each time, until it is comletely melted. Be careful not to let the chocolate start to bubble or it will burn and get gritty.
• Place the butter and egg in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or until fluffy. Add the confectioner sugar, malted milk powder and melted chocolate and mix for 1 minute or until even in color. Add the vanilla, milk and salt and mix for 2 minutes or until fluffy.
• To Assemble Cake:.
• Place 1 of the cooled cakes upside down on a serving platter and cover the top and sides with half of the frosting. Place the remaining frosting on the top and sides, blending the upper and lower portions of the sides as you go. Arrange the malted milk balls around the outside edge of the cake.
• AND YOUR DONE, TIME TO EAT!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease 10-inch bundt pan and dust with cocoa.
• Place all cake ingredients except the chocolate chips and almonds in a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix in the chocolate chips and alomnds and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the cake tests done (you may need more time in your oven--I've needed as long as 75 min.). Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
• Mix all glaze ingredients in small bowl. Let stand at room temperature until.
• ready to glaze cake.
• Place warm cake on a serving dish and drizzle with glaze.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar on the top may be another option--or you can go for broke with chocolate frosting!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a very large bowl stir together cake mix and pudding mix.
• Mix in sour cream, melted butter, eggs and almond extract, beat until well blended.
• Continue to beat for 4 minutes on medium speed, then blend in chocolate chips.
• Prepare a large bundt pan by greasing all the sides and then dusting with flour.
• Pour cake mixture into the pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or whenever a cake tester comes out clean.
• Baking times can vary with this recipe for some reason, so do keep an eye on it!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Grease and line a large cake tin (round or square) with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Combine the plain and milk chocolate and butter in a pan, and melt over a low flame, beating until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Then add the chopped white chocolate, flour and salt.
• Pour the entire mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is crisp and pale, and the center is almost set. The baking time will be much longer if you use a smaller pan.
