MALTED-MILK CHOCOLATE CAKE
From Cooking Light! In this recipe, the frosting is made first, then part is reserved to ice the cake and the rest is used in the batter. To melt chocolate, place it in a small bowl or custard cup; microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until soft, stirring until melted. The original recipe uses 2 (9-inch) round cake pans but I used 1 (9 X 13 inch)pan.

CHOCOLATE MALTED CAKE
This is a double layer chocolate cake. If you can find malt powder that will give a strong malt flavor, but i don't think they have it anymore. So go ahead and use malted milk powder.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 300°F.
- Using a paper towel or your fingertips, generously butter the inside of the springform pan. Use a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil to wrap tightly around the bottom of the pan. This prevents any water from the water bath seeping into the pan.
- Cookie crust
- In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the cookies, walnuts, and sugar and pulse until the cookies are finely ground, about 2 minutes. Or place the cookies in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies to a very fine crumb consistency. Finely chop the walnuts and add them with the sugar to the cookies, seal the bag, and shake to blend together evenly.
- Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to a medium bowl and add the butter. Use a rubber spatula or a spoon to toss the mixture together to moisten all of the cookie crumbs.
- Transfer the crust to the prepared springform pan and use your fingertips to press it into the bottom and partway up the sides of the pan. Chill the crust while preparing the cheesecake batter.
- Cheesecake
- Place the milk chocolate in the top of a double boiler over low heat. Stir often with a rubber spatula to help melt evenly. Remove the top pan of the double boiler and wipe the bottom and sides very dry.
- Or place the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt on low power for 30-second bursts. Stir with a rubber spatula after each burst.
- Place the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, add the malted milk powder, and whisk to distribute evenly. Cover the pan and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes, then strain the cream.
- Place the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric stand mixer or in a large bowl. Use the flat beater attachment or a hand-held mixer to beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it's fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the sugar and cream together very well. Stop occasionally and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- One at a time, add the eggs to the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition. At first the eggs will sit on top of the cream cheese mixture, but stop often to scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula. This will help the mixture to blend. The mixture may also look curdled as the eggs are added, but as you stop and scrape down the bowl, the mixture will smooth out.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and stir together to combine.
- Add the strained cream to the batter and blend thoroughly, then add the melted milk chocolate and mix together.
- Transfer the batter into the crust in the springform pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth and even the top.
- Place the springform pan in the larger cake pan or roasting pan and set the pan on the oven rack. Carefully pour the boiling water into the bottom pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan. Baking the cake in a water bath cushions it from the heat and adds extra moisture to the oven, which keeps the top of the cake from cracking.
- Bake the cake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, until the top is set, but jiggles slightly. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the cheesecake to a rack.
- Remove the foil and let the cheesecake cool completely. Cover the top of the cheesecake with waxed paper and wrap the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours before serving. To unmold the cheesecake, dip a thin-bladed knife in hot water and dry, then run it around the inner edge of the pan. Release the clip on the rim of the pan and gently lift it off the cake.
- Keeping
- Store the cheesecake, covered with waxed paper and tightly wrapped with aluminum foil, in the refrigerator up to 4 days. To freeze up to 2 months, wrap the cake pan tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Use a large piece of masking tape and an indelible marker to label and date the contents. If frozen, defrost overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Making a change
- Add 1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts to the batter before turning it into the pan.
- Adding style
- Drizzle the top of the cooled and chilled cheesecake with fine lines or designs of milk chocolate.
- Serve each slice of cheesecake with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream and scatter about 1 teaspoon of shaved milk chocolate over the cream.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it means that they should be at the same temperature as your kitchen. This helps them to blend together more easily and evenly.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cake Properly: Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cake. This helps to ensure that the cake bakes evenly. Also, don't open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate the cake, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
The chocolate malted milk ball cake is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist chocolate cake layers, creamy malted milk frosting, and crunchy chocolate malted milk ball topping, this cake is sure to be a hit. Whether you're making it for a birthday party, a potluck, or just to enjoy at home, this cake is sure to please everyone.
