Tall Malted Chocolate Cake, Microwave Sponges
This tall celebration cake stacks four layers of malted sponge, each ready in minutes thanks to the microwave, filled then fully coated in dark chocolate ganache before being finished with malted milk chocolate balls. The Baking Ring set inside the MicroPro Grill shapes each disc, and the ganache comes together in the MicroCook Pitcher.

Ingredients
Method
Gather all the cake ingredients, in the order given, and work them into a fully even batter.
Lightly oil the Baking Ring and centre it inside the MicroPro Grill. Weigh 200 g of batter into it, level with the Silicone Spatula and run for about 3 minutes at 900 W, lid raised.
Wait 2 minutes, then turn the disc out onto a rack to cool. Rinse and oil the ring again, and repeat the process three more times with the rest of the batter.
Combine the cream and chopped chocolate in the MicroCook Pitcher 1 l, heat for around 2 1/2 minutes at 360 W, rest for 3 minutes, then whisk to a smooth ganache.
Stack the discs, spreading about 2 tbsp of ganache between each. Cover the top with what remains, then spread it carefully all the way around the sides.
Set the cake on its serving plate and press the chocolate balls against the sides, working upward from the base, so the still-soft ganache holds them as it firms up. Chill until serving.
