Introduction
This Malted Chocolate Cake showcases the deep notes of our malted chocolate flour in a tender, textured crumb that’s as rich in flavor as it is light in feel. I chose to forego thick frostings in favor of a silky chocolate pudding topping, but you do you–eat it plain or douse it in thick decadent icing–each slice lets the cake’s nuanced malt and chocolate harmonies shine through. Prepare to delight your senses with every moist, chocolate-kissed bite.

What Is Malted Chocolate Wheat and How Is It Made?
Malted chocolate wheat begins as soft white wheat berries that are soaked to trigger germination, then kilned at higher temperatures to halt sprouting. This process darkens the grain to a rich brown and converts starches into natural sugars, yielding complex notes of caramel, toffee, and a hint of cocoa-like roast.
How We Produce Malted Chocolate–Infused Flour
First, we mill the kilned malted wheat on its own to create a specialty malted flour. Then we blend it with our fresh-milled Bakers Grade™ soft white wheat flour in precise proportions—delivering a balanced flour that carries the malt’s chocolate flavor alongside the soft wheat’s delicate structure.
Conclusion
Once baked, this cake delivers an irresistible depth of chocolate flavor. Serve it slightly warm or at room temperature—either way, you’ll taste the craftsmanship in every forkful. It’s proof that great flour makes for truly an unforgettable dessert.
