IMG_2605

is Milk Bar Monday of my favorite !! Man oh man did we seek good to share with you today. Maybe not the easiest recipe we fait- but it is so delicious and definitely worth it. In fact, Andy said it was his favorite recipe, I made the Milk Bar Cookbook far! (He even liked it better than cereals Milk Ice Cream Pie sweet corn that was once his reigning fave.)

As always with cakes Christina Tosi, it many different layers and fillings making each bite tastes better than the last. The base is a rich chocolate cake with thick fudge filling, marshmallows charred, malted milk "crumbs" and Ovaltine "dip" that keeps each layer of moist and flavorful cake extra.

from the outside, my cake was a bit smeared the oozing fudge a little, but for some reason I kind of liked the messy sticky aspect of it -this. The fudge was used instead of icing so that the whole was a little ooze-y.

Once I cut the cake if I was so relieved that everything was more or less remained in place, and the gooey fudge only to the richest and most delicious cake. I tried the cake right out of the refrigerator, but after I photographed it and let it sit for a few minutes, and the fudge was soft and almost creamy, it was even better.

I have made a small change to the original recipe which was to use all its recipe for classic hot fudge instead of an additional batch of "malt hot fudge. "Erin mentioned she preferred the classic, so I thought I 'd save me one step and avoid making two lots. I'm sure with the other makes the taste "malted," but I'm really glad I did as I did. This fudge sauce was to die for!

  2. Clean the cake ring and place it on a sheet of parchment paper or Silpat atop a baking sheet. Using an acetate strip line inside the cake ring. Put the pieces of cake in the ring and use the back of your hand to press the pieces together in an apartment, even later.
  3. Dunk a pastry brush soaking in ovaltine and give the layer of waste a good healthy swim half the soak.

  6. Top with another fifth of the fudge, using a spoon to spread as evenly as possible.
  7. With your index finger, gently tuck the second acetate strip between the cake ring and the top ¼ inch of the first acetate tape, so you ring a clear acetate 5 -6 inches TALL high enough to support the height of th finished cake. Top cake with a full circle (except the best for the top layer), brush the rest of the ovaltine dip on this layer and repeat the process of layer 1.
  8. Nestle the remaining cake round in the rig. Cover the top of the cake with the last fifth of fudge. Top with crumbs or extra marshmallows.
  9. Freeze the cake for at least 12 hours to settle the cake and filling. (And to make unmolding easier.)
