Chocolate sponge
The chocolate sponge is my stand-by and couldn’t be easier to make, and is virtually impossible to mess up. It’s both light and moist, with a luxurious chocolate flavour. Because it is so simple and versatile, it’s a recipe I come back to often. The method to making this sponge is quite simple. Mix up the dry and wet ingredients separately, then bring them together with the help of an electric mixer.
Malted milk chocolate frosting
When choosing the frosting for this cake, I had my kids in mind. They don’t love chocolate flavour to be too strong. I know that’s crazy, but it led me to decide to make the cake with malted milk chocolate frosting. This version is sweeter and less intense than dark chocolate. Just what my kids love! I searched the internet for a while for the best frosting and ended up using Sweetapolita’s recipe because when it comes to cakes, she is the queen! The icing uses malted milk powder to give it a distinctive taste and consistency. Malted milk is made from wheat flour, malted barley and evaporated milk. It’s a very useful ingredient for adding sweetness and lightness to things like frosting. That frosting is easily made in a food processor and produces the creamiest texture I HAVE EVER SEEN!
