Malteser Tray Bake Recipes

MALTESER TRAY BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C (340F). Line a 9x13inch rectangular cake pan with baking paper.
• Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and stir together to combine.
• Add the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla.
• Start beating on the lowest speed setting until the ingredients start to come together.
• Increase the speed gradually, until the batter is completely smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35 -40 minutes.
• Check the cake is done by inserting a skewer in the centre - it should come out clean, the cake should be well risen golden and springy to the touch. Cool the cake on a wire rack before frosting.

Steps:

• Line a 20cm x 20 cm (8" x 8") square tin with baking paper.
• Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs - either in a food processor or with the end of a rolling pin - and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
• Roughly chop the Maltesers, leaving some larger chunks, and put them in the bowl with the biscuit crumbs.
• In a small sauce pan over a low heat, place the butter, cocoa, golden syrup, 50g milk chocolate and 50g dark chocolate and heat, stirring, until the butter and chocolate have melted.
• Leave the chocolate mix to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour over the Maltesers and biscuit crumbs.
• Mix well until all the biscuit crumbs are coated in the chocolate mixture.
• Pour into the prepared tin and smooth out, pressing down with the back of a spoon.
• Melt the remaining 50g milk chocolate and 75g dark chocolate, either in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water.
• Once melted, pour over the chocolate Maltesers biscuit base, and spread out to cover the slice.
• Sprinkle over the roughly chopped Maltesers and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to set.
• Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cut it. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 16 pieces.
• Store in an container in the fridge.

Steps:

• line a 8x8 square tin, or smaller, (your cake will be thicker thats all.)with cling, foil or baking parchment.
• Finely crush the biscuits.
• Place butter,syrup and chocolate in a pan and melt over a low heat, you may want to take it off the heat before the chocolate completely melts so the mixture doesn't get too hot for the maltesers later.
• Add the crushed biscuits and mix together well.
• Work quickly now and pour the mixture into the tin, smoothing out to make it an even thickness.
• Place the maltesers all over the top and press into the mix.
• Leave to cool before chilling and slicing.
• It also looks lovely if you drizzle melted white chocolate over the top.
