Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup malted milk powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 0.33 cup malted milk powder (for frosting)
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (melted and cooled)
• 1 cup malted milk balls (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, mixing until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks and let cool completely.

Step 7

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and malted milk powder, mixing until smooth.

Step 8

Pour in the melted chocolate and heavy cream. Beat until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.

Step 9

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Step 10

Garnish the cake with crushed or whole malted milk balls, if desired. Slice and serve!
