This Malteser and Chocolate Finger Celebration Cake is the perfect choice for that chocoholic cake loving person in your life. A chocolate sponge covered in layer upon layer of chocolates!
I often get asked to make celebration cakes for friends, and a while ago I was asked to make a retirement cake for my friend’s Mum who was leaving her job of 30 odd years at a local medical practice. Knowing how much she loved Maltesers and chocolate cake, I decided that a Malteser & Chocolate Finger Celebration Cake would be the perfect bake.
Knowing how much her Mum adores Maltesers and chocolate cake, I was asked to make something to reflect this and so I went with a cake I have made many times before, because it is easy to make and decorate, but still has a wow! factor when presented to people.
It is just a 2 layered chocolate sponge cake inside, and therefore, it really is very easy to bake. Furthermore, even if your sponges are not perfect, any imperfections are covered by the chocolate fingers and Maltesers. For this reason, this makes a great cake for a special occasion, because even if your sponges are imperfect, the finished cake does not reveal this.
Mmmmmm chocolate! Cakes make a wonderful gift for people to help them celebrate a special occasion.
