Malteaser Chocolate Malt Cake

I love Malteasers and we surprisingly had an unopened bag from our trip away. However the chocolate had started to melt, so this gave the the perfect excuse to use them for a cake!

This chocolate malt cake combines both of the iconic Malteasers flavour and creates a light moist cake which goes perfectly with the topping!

2 - Put the mixture into a cake in and place into the pre heated oven and bake for 25 minutes
