Glistening with malt chocolate butterscotch, this bundt cake is a must-bake.

300g dark (70%) chocolate, chopped
200g unsalted butter, chopped, softened
300g sour cream, at room temperature
125g self-raising flour, sifted
125g plain flour, sifted
40g good-quality dark cocoa powder, sifted
100g malted milk powder
3 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
200g caster sugar

Malt chocolate butterscotch

60g unsalted butter, chopped
100g brown sugar
125ml thickened cream
1 tbs malted milk powder
25g dark (70%) chocolate, chopped

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 20cm bundt pan. Set aside.
2.

Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
3.

Place remaining ingredients in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Add cooled chocolate mixture and, using a large whisk or spatula, mix until smooth. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 30 minutes, then invert on a wire rack to cool completely.
4.

Make butterscotch when ready to serve. Place butter and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, then stir in malt powder and chocolate. Simmer, stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until melted and smooth. Pour butterscotch over cake to serve.
