Malt O Meal Cake Food

MALT-O-MEAL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix eggs and 1/2 cup sugar together on medium high speed until pale & thickened, about 4 minutes.
• Mix in the brandy and melted butter.
• In separate bowl, mix together the other 1/2 cup sugar, the malt-o-meal & sour cream and baking soda together.
• Fold the malt-o-meal mixture into the egg mixture.
• Pour mixture into 9x13 pan. Bake 350 for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool for 10 minutes. While cake is cooling, stir together water, 3/4 cup sugar and lemon juice in pan over medium heat. Boil for about 5 minutes.
• Poke holes in the cake with small knife. Sprinkle syrup mixture over cake, by the spoonful. (*note; if your malt-o-meal isnt flavored, you can double the syrup, or you can replace syrup mixture with maple syrup).
• Cool completely & serve.

MALTED "FOREVER" BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 × 8-inch pan with 2 sheets of foil, crossing one over the other and pressing the foil into the corners and up the sides. Lightly butter the foil and set aside.
• Bloom the cocoa: In a large heatproof bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and ¼ cup boiling water (4 oz / 113g) until smooth (this will bring out the flavor of the cocoa).
• Melt the chocolate, butter, and oil: Add the semisweet chocolate, butter, and oil to the bowl with the cocoa mixture and set it over a medium saucepan filled with about 1 inch of simmering (not boiling) water (make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water). Warm the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool until lukewarm.
• Add the sugars and egg: Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the chocolate mixture. It will look grainy and you might see some of the fat start to separate from the rest of the mixture, which is normal. Add the whole egg, egg yolks, and vanilla and whisk vigorously until the mixture comes back together and looks very thick, smooth, and glossy.
• Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, malted milk powder (if using), and salt and whisk slowly until everything is combined, then whisk more vigorously until the batter is very thick, a full 45 seconds.
• Fold in the chocolate and bake: Add the milk chocolate to the batter and fold with a flexible spatula to distribute. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading in an even layer all the way to the corners.
• Bake the brownies until the surface is shiny and puffed and the center is dry to the touch but still soft when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool, chill, and cut: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan until they are no longer hot, about 1 hour, then refrigerate until the bottom of the pan feels cold, about 1 hour longer (this results in a chewier texture). Use the ends of the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice the brownies into 16 squares.
