This White Micha\u0142ki cake is absolutely delicious! Only partially baked \u2013 it has a homemade crisp chocolate pastry base topped with a praline-style filling that tastes remarkably similar to the popular Polish sweets. The filling is made with milk powder, white chocolate and, of course, roasted peanuts, which are the signature ingredient of Micha\u0142ki chocolates. This cake is wonderfully indulgent, with the flavour of milk powder and peanuts taking centre stage \u2013 so you simply need to be a fan of milk powder ;).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for the chocolate pastry:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 100 g butter<\/li>\n
• 150 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 2 large egg yolks<\/li>\n
• 2 tbsp icing sugar<\/li>\n
• 1\u00bd tbsp cocoa powder<\/li>\n
• pinch of salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl, add the butter and quickly rub or cut it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks, icing sugar and salt and quickly bring the dough together (you can also use a food processor). Shape into a ball, flatten slightly, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 60 minutes.<\/p>\n

  Line the base of a 23 cm springform tin with baking paper.<\/p>\n

  Remove the dough from the fridge, roll it out and use it to line the base of the tin. Prick the surface with a fork and bake at 180\u00b0C for 20\u201323 minutes, or until lightly browned and baked through. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.<\/p>\n

  Ingredients for the White Micha\u0142ki filling:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • \u00bd cup milk<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup caster sugar<\/li>\n
  • 30 g butter (2 tbsp)<\/li>\n
  • 1\u00bd cups full-fat milk powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\u00bd cups roasted unsalted peanuts<\/li>\n
  • 100 g white chocolate<\/li>\n
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract or a few drops of arak flavouring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Grind 1 cup of the peanuts into a fine powder (using a food processor or coffee grinder) and finely chop the remaining \u00bd cup. Chop the white chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the sugar and butter. Heat gently, stirring until the ingredients have dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly, but the mixture should remain warm. Add the milk powder and mix thoroughly to remove any lumps. Add the melted, warm chocolate and mix. Finally, add the ground and chopped peanuts and the vanilla extract or arak flavouring. Mix until combined. If the mixture is too runny, add a little more milk powder (depending on the consistency; I would add another 2 tbsp next time).<\/p>\n

    Spread the White Micha\u0142ki filling over the cooled chocolate pastry base and smooth the surface. Leave to set, preferably in the fridge for a quicker result.<\/p>\n

    Ingredients for the white chocolate topping:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

      Chop the white chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie or in the microwave.<\/p>\n

      Remove the chilled White Micha\u0142ki cake from the fridge and spread the melted chocolate over the top. Leave to set, then slice and serve.<\/p>\n

      Enjoy!<\/p>\n
