I think this one was in one of the mail on sundays magazines when she was advertising her book, so I don't think she'd be too worried about the copyright as she put it in a newspaper to up sales of her book!
Thanks for the recipe though as it was one I meant to save, how can anyone keep the bags of maltesers for a cake - they are so eatable!!

I made this yesterday and it is HUGE. And gorgeous. And I can't stop eating it. It makes 14 really generous sized slices and between us DDs 1 and 2, me and DD's father (my ex) have eaten over half of it. I think I will have to take some bicarb and water because I have a "touch" of indigestion!! It is a lovely cake though and I have frozen the rest in single portion sizes for the sake of my hips!! I reckon it is good value too - cost me 37p for the maltesers, and 42p for the butter (half an 83p packet). Rest of the stuff was from the storecupboard and it looked really impressive. I didn't use the brown sugar either - just used granulated and it was fine.

reverie

I made this when the recipe was posted to cheer a friend up who loves malteasers. My oven shelves are a bit wonky though and as the batter is quite runny, it wandered off so that each cake was sloping when cooked, when I put them together the top one kept sliding off, there was a comedy moment trying to get the icing to set while balancing one side of the plate on a cook book to try and even it up

Then on the journey to deliver the cake the top layer escaped onto my lap.

However, it had an eventful but short life as it was absolutely lovely and I helped friend to eat it
