Batik Cake (Milo inspired) - Real Recipes from Mums

A delicious Milo inspired slice that requires no cooking in the oven. Please note I have included TWO RECIPES here one contains eggs the other does not. The choice is all yours on which to prepare but both are YUMMY. Do hope you EnJoY!

Ingredients (serves 20)

1/2 cup Milo powder
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/2 cup (125ml) boiling water
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
5 eggs
1 cup condensed milk
250g marie biscuits
SECOND VERSION: This recipe has NO EGGS:
200g Milo powder
200g butter
1/2 can condense milk
1 pk marie biscuits (broken into pieces)

Method

Pour cacao, Milo and boiling water in a saucepan and stir. On low heat add butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and condensed milk then stir until mixture thickens. It will take about 15 minutes of stirring to get a custard-like consistency.
Break biscuits into quarters and stir into the custard mixture. (or if you would like the more traditional Batik design ..leave biscuits whole and lay across your tin.)
Prepare a pan/tin, I use 15x15cm square tin. You can line the tin with baking paper for easy removal.
Pour the mixture into the pan/tin and smooth out. Refrigerate for about 3-5 hours.
Cut into slices and serve.
Second version: This recipe has NO EGGS:
Melt the butter on the stove. Once melted, add in condense milk.
Add in marrie biscuit and milo in a large bowl. Pour in the butter and milk and stir until blended. Ensure that all the biscuits are covered in the chocolate paste.
Put the mixture into a cake pan. Then press gently to ensure that all the biscuits stick to each other by using a spatula or spoon. Refrigerator it for 3-5 hours until the mixture hardens.

Notes

Please note that I have included TWO RECIPES here..one with eggs and one without. Also please note that the recipe requires 3-5 hours refrigeration. Cheers cherz and go go go with Milo.

Never heard or had a batik cake before but I want to try it because it has Milo lol.
We are a bit obsessed with Milo at the moment so am finding lots of recipes to see how else we can use it.

I had to look up Marie biscuits because I’d never heard of them before. I must have just missed them amongst all of the other Arnott’s biscuits but I am a big fan of Milo so am curious to see what this tastes like.
