In reply to Krista. Thanks for your review, Krista! The malt is subtle in the cake so the frosting is for sure the cherry (or frosting ) on top!

Delicious! I did this in an13x9 and baked for almost 30 minutes. I didn’t taste the malt in the cake but it was a moist and delicious chocolate cake. Then, the miracle frosting appeared. Oh. My. Amazingness. Rich, chocolate malty goodness. A little sweet, but so yummy! Thanks for the great recipe.

In reply to Krista. Hey, Krista-- yes, it can! I make this same cake without the malt situation in my chocolate sheet cake post. Bake time is 18-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Hi! I’m so excited to try this. Could it be done as a 13×9 instead of layered? How long would it bake?
Thanks!

Any chance I can use Dutch processed cocoa powder in the cake itself? Thank you.

In reply to Chip. Hey, Chip-- I approve of as many layers as your heart is telling you to make :) If you make it before the end of this month, you can be entered to win our Bake Along!

In reply to Maureen Egan. Maureen, you are awesome! You persevered and proved that even with a slightly disastrous icing situation, the cake can still turn out perfectly. Thank you for your review!

I took part in the April bake along and I’m so happy I did. I am more of a cook, not a baker, but I decided to go all in and found Lynn‘s recipe very easy to follow and the videos were so helpful. I made the chocolate malt cake and was so happy with the final product. I learned a few things about thinning out icing, which solved some problems I had when icing the cake.
I brought the cake to an event where everyone absolutely loved it – having the crushed Whoppers on top was the perfect touch.
Having tackled the April bake along I’m ready for the May challenge! Bring it on!

Oh my. I cannot wait to get home of make this. Would It be a horribly glutinous, to make this in three layers adding 59% more to the frosting section? I am flying dangerously close to a Prinzregententorte here! Thanks so much for this and everything else!!
