The inspiration behind this Cadbury’s Dairy Milk cake came about directly from a reader’s question regarding the potential use of drinking chocolate powder in cake making. So if you are that inquisitive reader, thank you!

Using drinking chocolate powder in place of cocoa powder in a cake wasn’t something that had crossed my mind until reading that question. But I could immediately see the merits of it for producing an entirely different, less intense, chocolate offering.

Of course, once recipe testing on the drinking chocolate cake began it wasn’t long before I got sucked down the Dairy Milk route. Drinking chocolate and Dairy Milk ended up being such naturals together in this Cadbury’s chocolate cake. In fact, it’s impossible to identify which one deserves the title of

Cadbury’s Dairy Milk is a brand of milk chocolate manufactured by Cadbury since 1905. Cadbury is a British company, first established in Birmingham in 1824. The Dairy Milk chocolate bar is their top-selling bar and it’s popular throughout the world, not just in the UK. Dairy Milk is made with at least 20% cocoa solids and copious amounts of milk (

The chocolate has a creamy and sweet taste and a smooth consistency that melts in the mouth superbly well. It may not be high-end chocolate but it is undeniably tasty and a square or two is always hard to resist.

Of course, Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate is also at the heart of numerous other Cadbury’s chocolate products including Dairy Milk Buttons, Dairy Milk Fingers, Freddos and the Dairy Milk caramel bars.

And while we’re talking about all things Cadbury’s, let’s answer another question: what is Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate? Also known as Cadbury’s Hot Chocolate, it is a powder made from sugar and cocoa powder. This drinking chocolate is intended to be swirled into hot milk to make a quick, easy and cheap hot chocolate drink.

Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate has been knocking around for decades. In fact, it was my daily hot drink of choice before I discovered the delights of tea at 19 years old – so you could say I grew up on this. I’m still partial to a mug to this day so it was probably written in the stars that I’d eventually devise a drinking chocolate cake for

Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate powder is essential for this cake. It adds the perfect level of sweet and milky chocolate flavour to the sponge. I don’t advocate using any other brands – this is, after all, a Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate cake.

Dairy Milk Recipes & Ideas

Please don’t use Cadbury’s Highlights chocolate powders. Over the years I’ve read countless horror stories about the results of baking with low-calorie chocolate powders.

Please also avoid the version of hot chocolate that is designed to be mixed with hot water rather than milk. Again, I’ve not tested the recipe with this product.

I’ve snuck a little buttermilk into the sponge cake mixture. This lends a delicately moist and soft texture to the cake given that there’s quite a bit of drinking chocolate powder also landing in the bowl. It works wonderfully well and leftover buttermilk can be used to make scones or pancakes .

To be in keeping with the Dairy Milk theme of this cake, use only Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate when making the buttercream. The recipe for the buttercream has been devised with this chocolate in mind. It includes less icing sugar to counterbalance the sweetness of this chocolate and a dash of cream to amplify its creamy nature.

Decorations are where you can have some fun and let your imagination run riot. I’ve stuck with the Dairy Milk theme and opted for Cadbury’s Giant Buttons and I’ve also crushed up some Cadbury’s Flake and used it in a couple of places.

If anything, I’ve been intentionally understated in my choice of garnishes (regrettably my eyes are always bigger than my dessert tummy these days). But I’ve included a section on ideas for decorating this Cadbury’s Chocolate cake more extravagantly towards the end of this blog post.

How To Make Oat Milk (perfect Every Time!)

To ensure this recipe is quick and simple to prepare I opted for a 2-layered Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate cake sandwiched together and decorated with buttercream. Using 8-inch (20cm) cake tins provided a perfectly proportioned cake for this set-up.

I won’t lie, it is a risk. When melted chocolate comes into contact with another substance that is significantly colder than itself there is a chance that it will begin to set before it’s mixed in.

1. First of all, I ensure my butter is at room temperature before I begin making the buttercream. This helps close the gap between the difference in temperature between the buttercream and the melted chocolate.

2. Secondly, I always mix a spoonful of the buttercream into the melted chocolate before adding it all to the rest of the buttercream. Again, this helps reduce the difference in temperature still further and it’s key to ensuring a smooth and creamy buttercream.

To freeze assemble the cake then let sit in the fridge for several hours to firm up the buttercream. Then wrap in clingfilm and pop it into the freezer for up to 6 weeks. When ready to use, take out of the freezer, remove the clingfilm and defrost fully before slicing.

Yes, you can. Simply make the cake batter as instructed then transfer to a 1-inch deep rectangular cake tin approx 12×8 inchs (30×20 cm). Decorate the top with the buttercream and the Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolates of your preference.
