Malteser Cake

This recipe is not a healthy one (and is rich so you only need a small piece) but after being nagged endlessly by a pupil (you know who you are!) I have relented and shared it with you for you all to enjoy.

Malteser Cake

Ingredients:

  • 130 g BUTTER
  • 50 g GOLDEN SYRUP
  • 50 g CHOCOLATE
  • 50 g COCOA POWDER
  • 220 g BROKEN DIGESTIVE BISCUITS
  • 250 g MALTESERS, ½ CRUSHED, ½ LEFT WHOLE (I used white and milk Maltesers)

Begin with a large, heavy based saucepan. Melt the butter and golden syrup together and then add the chocolate, stirring constantly. Once you have a dark, sticky liquid, throw in the broken digestives, cocoa powder and the broken Maltesers. Give everything a good stirring around to coat all the dry ingredients with the sticky mixture. Allow it to cool slightly before stirring in the whole Maltesers.
Line a cake tin with cling film, and then press in the mixture, being careful not to crush any of the whole Maltesers.

Pop it in the fridge to set.

Malteser Cake is best served at room temperature.

Enjoy!
