Recipe makes 1 (6 inch) layered Naked Cake
Serves 8 – 12
Equipment
1 (7 inch) Cake Board
1 (6inch) Cake Ring
1 Strip of Acetate approximately 40cm length and approximately 13 – 14cm wide
Assemble Cake Instructions
- Place a piece of baking paper on your work bench, invert the cake onto it and remove the parchment from the cake.
- Use the cake ring to cut out 2 complete cake circles which will be the top two layers of your cake and the remaining cake should be enough to cut two circle halves and scraps to fill in any gaps for 1 bottom layer.
- On a baking tray place the cake base, clean the cake ring and place this in the centre of the cake board. Line the inside of the cake ring with the acetate. Now we are almost ready.
- Place the two halves and any cake scraps you require to fill the first layer (base) to make a flat even layer.
- Warm the Cho-Malt Fudge Sauce spread, one fifth of the Choc-Malt Sauce over the base. (The sauce is so much easier to spread when its warmed)
- Spread half the quantity of Caramel Creme then sprinkle with the (small particle) Malt Crumble gently push them into the Caramel Creme to fix them in place.
- Spread another layer of Choc-Malt Fudge Sauce. Repeat the process for the next cake layer.
- Place the last layer on top spread the last amount of Choc-Malt Fudge Sauce and cover with the Chocolate Butter Cream. Garnish the top with the remaining large Malt Crumble Biscuit pieces.
- Place the cake in the fridge and allow to set for a minimum of 12 hours.
- Use a hot knife to slice and serve.
