If you are a Maltesers fan, you are going to love this easy recipe for a Maltesers Loaf Cake. Loaf cakes, or pound cakes, are so simple to make and decorate, and this Maltesers version is no exception. It’s a rich chocolate malt sponge topped with a malt buttercream – that tastes exactly like the inside of a Malteser! I’ve also decorated it with some Maltesers spread and plenty of Maltesers chocolates of course.
INGREDIENT TIPS & EQUIPMENT INFORMATION
* Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking.
* I used a baking spread for the cake and unsalted butter for the buttercream.
* I used light brown soft sugar for the cake, but caster sugar and dark brown sugar (or a combination) will both work if you prefer.
* I used Horlicks instant malt powder for the cake and buttercream.
* The Maltesers spread is optional, don’t worry if you can’t get hold of it. I’ve seen it in Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys and also places like B&M and pound shops before. You can also buy it via the Amazon link below.
* You will need a 2lb loaf tin for this recipe (you can test the size of your loaf tin by seeing how much water the tin can hold, 2lb will hold about 2 pints/1100ml of water). If you have a 1lb loaf tin, simply halve the ingredient amounts.
* For easy lining of the tin, use a loaf cake tin liner*.
* Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around
* 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.
