Caramilk is an Aussie icon, so of course it had to be included in this mashup of Australian desserts.

Method

  • Start by making the sponge. Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, beating until everything is light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and milk, and gently beat that in. Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold that into the wet mixture along with the salt
  • Preheat the oven to 160 C fan. Line a 20 x 30 pan with greaseproof paper, then pour in the batter. Smooth out the top, then pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan, place on a wire rack, and leave to cool completely - around 1 to 2 hours
  • Meanwhile, make the ganache. Warm the cream in a pan over medium heat, bringing it to a simmer not a boil.
  • Finely chop the Caramilk, and place into a bowl. Pour over the warm cream, cover with a plate, then leave to sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the plate, stir, and everything should be smooth and luscious. Finish with a little pinch of salt.
  • Allow the ganache to cool for at least 30 minutes. Cut the cake into squares, then freeze the squares for 1 hour to avoid crumbs in the ganache.
  • Spread a thin layer of melted caramilk over two squares, then roll the squares, one at a time, in hundreds and thousands so they’re completely covered. Once both squares are covered, pipe a thick layer of ganache in between them. Repeat with the remaining squares, and enjoy!
