ellen, the choc-malted cake why 'ellen'? because this simple, low fuss cake is one that you're going to want de generes slice of! (I know, it's the lowest form of wit, but also the simplest choc-slab cake that I've made in ages) here we go: pre heat the oven to 400f / 180c put all of the ingredients except the choc chips in the food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. scrape the sides and add the choc chips. pulse another 10 seconds pour the batter into a greased, floured and lined baking dish bake for 10 mins at 400f, reduce heat to 375f, then bake another 25 mins. check, if cake bounces back when tapped in centre, it is cooked allow to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes, run a knife around the edges to loosen then turn the cake onto a wire rack whilst you make the frosting frosting: this is bascially a choc-malted ganache. it's this simple: melt the chocolate, mix the cream and malted milk powder to form a paste, pour the mleted chocolate into the bowl and stir to combine. pour this over the cake, mounding it in the centre then use a knife to spread it towards the sides delicious served warm with ice cream
