How to Make Chocolate Syrup Malted Milk Magic Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
  3. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan or an angel food cake pan.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup chocolate syrup, and 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bars (or 6 Milky Way bars, unwrapped).
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until completely dissolved.
  7. Whisk in 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 large eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  9. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  11. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
