How to Make Chocolate Malted Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup malted milk powder and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder; beat until just combined.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup half-and-half, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the frosting:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together ½ cup half-and-half and ½ cup malted milk powder. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the powder is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
- Gradually add the cooled malted milk mixture to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
- Add 2 cups powdered sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cake and enjoy!
