Whopper's Malt Cake

Looking for a way to use all that halloween candy you still have around? Well here's an idea! This cake is REALLY good, but I'm warning you RIGHT NOW that this frosting is TO DIE FOR. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, I made this cake last week just because I was craving the frosting then was SO excited to remember that some friends were supposed to come over the next evening. So I refrigerated the cake and ate some leftover frosting on some graham crackers with my kids for an after school treat.......YUMARAMA!! Our friends who came by agreed, they loved the cake and the husband said "the frosting on this cake is just spectacular, this is SO good!" So just to let you know I always double the frosting recipe, I love it because you can freeze and use later to frost brownies, cookies, or even just pull out pretzels and graham crackers and oh yum, so good and creamy, you chocolate lovers will just be in heaven.


Whopper's Malt Cake
Print Recipe
1 box Betty Crocker French Vanilla cake mix or Devils Food/Chocolate Cake mix
1 cup Whoppers, crushed with rolling pin in a bag







**this is my favorite white cake mix, you can use any cake mix you want, chocolate works of course also! I just sometimes like the whole whopper's theme with the white cake inside topped with chocolate, and really the frosting here is the star.

Mix according to directions, pour into two 8 inch round pans that are well greased and floured. Bake according to directions for pan sizes. Remove from oven, cool in pans for 10 minutes, then carefully remove cakes from pans and cool completely on racks.

Creamy Chocolate Malt Frosting: (guaranteed to ruin any weight loss attempt)
3/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup malted milk powder
16oz. powdered sugar (1/2 of a 32 oz bag)



In large mixing bowl, beat butter and vanilla. In separate bowl, stir together malt powder and cocoa. Add to butter, beat on medium speed. Add whipping cream and beat on low til mixed in well. Add powdered sugar. Grab pretty much anything from your pantry, spread a little frosting on it, and enjoy a moment of chocolate bliss.



Place 1st cooled cake on a platter, top side down,frost. Top with 1/3 cup chopped whoppers, kind of press into frosting a little bit so it will be easier to top with 2nd cake. Place 2nd layer on top, frost top and sides of cake. Put remaining whoppers on top, yum!
