My best friend Kimberly celebrated her birthday yesterday but came round to mine for tea tonight. In her honour I made her a birthday cake and thought I would share the recipe

Malteaser Cake


Ingredients:

200g self raising flour
200g unsalted butter
200g caster sugar
4 eggs

150g butter
190g icing sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 heaped tbsp cocoa powder
1 grab bag of malteasers

Method:

heat the oven to 180oC/160oC Fan
cream together the butter and sugar until smooth, pale and creamy
add the flour and eggs and mix well together 

grease and line 2 sandwich tins
add the cake mixture and cook for 25 mins approx (or until knife comes out clean)

allow to cool completely then add your buttercream (which you make by beating all the ingredients, except the malteasers, well together): half for the middle of your cake and the other half for the top

then add decorate the top of your cake with the malteasers 

then enjoy!
