Malted Milk Chocolate Traybake Food

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.

MALTED MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cream the butter, then add both sugars and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat slightly, then add the vanilla and beat until combined. Add the malted milk powder and beat until combined.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture, beating gently until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir in gently.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between the cookies (they spread out quite a bit). Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies will be very flat and very chewy. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan with a spatula.
• Optional: Allow to cool completely, then use 2 cookies to make an ice cream sandwich. Add sprinkles to the sides of the ice cream, then wrap individually in plastic wrap.

CHOCOLATE CHIP TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil the base and sides of a 33 x 23cm roasting tin that's at least 2.5cm deep. Line with baking parchment. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Break up any sugar lumps with a whisk.
• Whisk the oil together with the milk, vanilla and eggs in a jug, and pour into the dry ingredients, then stir in the chocolate chips. Stir well using a spatula until there are no pockets of flour. Pour the mix into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. If any wet mix clings to the skewer, return to the oven for 5 mins, then check again. Leave to cool in the tin for at least 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the icing. Melt the butter, then remove from the heat and stir in the icing sugar, cocoa powder and milk. The icing will be very runny, but will thicken a little as it cools. (If the icing has thickened too much before the cake has cooled, reheat it slightly to make it easier to pour.)
• Pour the chocolate icing over the cake and leave until it has set before slicing into squares.

MALTED CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• Chill one 16-ounce serving glass (or two 8-ounce serving glasses) in the freezer.
• For the whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream and sugar in a large, deep bowl. Whisk vigorously by hand until soft peaks form, 30 to 60 seconds. Set aside.
• For the milkshake: Blend the milk and malted milk powder in a blender on high speed until the malted milk powder dissolves, 15 to 20 seconds. Add the chocolate ice cream and blend on high until creamy and thick, pushing down as needed, 20 to 25 seconds.
• Pour the milkshake into the chilled glass and top with the whipped cream. Garnish with a maraschino cherry if using and serve immediately.
