Method

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180C conventional setting/ 160C fan assisted.

  • 2. Line the base of two 18cm loose-bottomed round tins with baking paper, and lightly grease the base and sides with a little vegetable oil.

  • 3. Whisk the eggs and sugar for a full 4 minutes until they turn pale and treble in size.

  • 4. Add the flour, cocoa powder, almonds, baking powder, salt, buttermilk and melted butter to the bowl and mix to combine.

  • 5. Divide the mixture between the two prepared tins and place into the middle of a hot oven for 30 minutes.

  • 6. Once cooked, leave to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes until cold.You could speed up the process by placing the rack in the fridge if you wanted to. The cake must be cold before you ice it or it will simply run off it.

  • 7. Whilst the cake is cooling, make the icing.

  • 8. To make the icing, place the mascarpone and icing sugar in a bowl and mix together with the help of a rubber spatula. When they are totally blended together and there are no lumps, add the cocoa powder and mix again. Refrigerate until needed.

  • 9. To assemble the cake, spread a thin layer of icing on the underside of both cakes. Scatter half of the Maltesers on the base layer, then sandwich with the top half. Finally, place Maltesers all over the top of the cake before serving.

    This cake is perfect for special occasions, since it looks utterly spectacular! It's also only very straight forward and only an hour from start to finish, including cooling time.
