The crowning glory here is the Malteser buttercream. I achieved this by adding around half a jar of Maltesers spread to vanilla buttercream icing. When I made this cake it was ridiculously hot so I ended up leaving it over night, but I doubt it would take that long - it just got too late to wait for it! Make sure you freeze the biscuit base for at least 10 mins to set it firmly. Otherwise it may go soggy when you add the filling. Make the chocolate sponge by mixing the butter and caster sugar together, then add eggs and milk, then self raising flour and cocoa powder.If the caramel is over done you will know as it will be chewy. If its solid, you’ve just gone wrong!!!! If it is chewy, leave it out at room temperature to prevent the butter making the caramel set any firmer. Also, when the chocolate is poured on, it can soften the caramel too. I used a mix of sugars for the sponge. You can use all caster sugar or all light brown soft sugar if you prefer. Meringue Nests – My cheat if you struggle to pipe perfect whipped cream swirls! Mini meringue nests look perfect without any of the hard work! For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

You can add more milk if the buttercream is too stiffYou can spread the buttercream onto the cakes with a spoon or palette knife if you don’t want to pipe it.

How to make Maltesers Cupcakes Self raising flour, which is very commonly used in the UK where I am based, already contains a raising agent and a little salt too. Therefore if you want to swap it for plain or all purpose flour, you will need to add some additional baking powder and also a little salt if you like. Some people like to add salt to cake recipes and some don't, so I'll leave that up to you as it won't affect the bake. The general advice is to add 2 teaspoons baking powder (a measuring teaspoon, not the kind you stir your coffee with) per every 200g plain or all purpose flour. So for this recipe you'd need to add 3 teaspoons baking powder. Please note, I have not tested this recipe using plain or all purpose flour. Can this cake be made gluten or dairy free?

Great bakes start with great ingredients. Here’s everything you need to know about the fundamentals needed for this recipe… For the biscuit base Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, beat in the eggs followed by the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and malt powder. Slowly add the milk and beat until the batter has loosened and all the ingredients are fully combined. To make the buttercream, mix together the butter, icing sugar, malt powder, vanilla extract and milk until smooth. Put the first sponge on your serving plate and spread half of the Maltesers Spread over it, then pipe buttercream on top of the spread. Add the second sponge, spread the rest of the Maltesers Spread over it and pipe more buttercream over that. Decorate with Maltesers, both whole and crushed. Only use full fat Philadelphia original cream cheese. Other brands / low fat versions may not set and it could end in heartbreak! Make the buttercream by mixing the Malteser Teaser spread with icing sugar, butter and milk.Pipe it onto the cupcakes then top them with a Malteser Teaser chocolate each.Cream – Double cream (heavy cream in the US) is best as you need to be able to whip it to stiff peaks. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat to the highest point and let the mixture go to boiling point. Let the mixture boil for 5-7 minutes whilst stirring constantly (as mentioned above, it's so the mixture doesn’t catch.) The cake will keep in an airtight container for 3 days in a cool place. You can freeze the sponges either alone, or decorated. Once the sponges are fully cool, wrap them well with cling film or put them in an airtight container with some baking paper between them. You can freeze the buttercream on it's own in a tub, or you can decorate the cake and freeze it fully assembled. To do this and avoid damage to the decoration, freeze it either in an airtight container. Or let it freeze solid on a cake board or plate, then wrap in cling film. Remove the cling film when you take it out to defrost it, if you don't it could damage the appearance of the decoration as it defrosts and softens. You can also freeze slices of the cake, again well wrapped in cling film or in airtight containers. Can you make this cake with plain or all purpose flour? It was just a bit too sweet for my taste so I would reduce the amount of sugar next time, but other than that it had a really nice malt flavour to it. I didn’t have Maltersers spread at hand so I added crushed Maltesers over the buttercream instead. For the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post.

Sprinkle some crushed Maltesers over the cake and place some in the chocolate too before setting it on the side or in the fridge.
