Equipment
- 2 x 20cm round cake tins
- Large mixing bowl
- Jug
- Whisk
- Glass bowl for double boiler
Ingredients
- 225 g plain flour sifted
- 350 g caster sugar
- 85 g cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 250 ml whole milk at room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 125 ml vegetable oil
- 250 ml cold coffee
- 250 g dark chocolate chopped
- 250 g milk chocolate chopped
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 200 g malted milk biscuits roughly broken
- 100 g mini marshmallows
- 100 g mixed nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, macadamias)
- 100 g Maltesers roughly broken up
- 1 tub marshmallow fluff
- 200 ml whipped cream
- q.s. extra mini marshmallows for decoration
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas 4 and grease the base and sides of 2 x 20cm round cake tins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate jug, whisk together the milk, eggs, and oil until combined. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Mix boiling water and coffee powder together, then pour it into the batter and mix until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins and bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely in the tins.
- While cooling, melt both chocolates and butter in a glass bowl over a double boiler, then add biscuits, marshmallows, and nuts. Mix well.
- Pour the rocky road mixture over the cooled cakes, spread evenly, and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set. Once set, turn one cake onto a serving plate, spread marshmallow fluff on top, and place the second cake on top. Decorate with whipped cream rosettes, extra mini marshmallows, and a dusting of icing sugar.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Ensure cakes are completely cool before adding the rocky road mixture to avoid melting. For a neat presentation, use a piping bag for the cream rosettes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
