My dad’s name was Milo and I made this recipe for him. Yes, Milo Magic cake is for my dad sleeping or living in different dimension. And it all started with Nestle product called Milo Drink…
Hello my dear readers,
When they say life is not fair they are not kidding. But the irony of life is to rise above and fly…even if you can’t do the parallel parking in real life.Yes, that is the formula for success. Shoot for the moon … you will land among the stars.
And so I did. I bought the Milo drink, found the Australia’s best recipe and decide to bake for you. And for my dad.
MILO MAGIC CAKE
Dad don’t ask me why Australia? You know how much I love, love Lamington cake. So, naturally my country should be Australia.
Now, let’s go back to Milo Magic Cake which is actually called Magic Milo Cake.
How can I describe this cake?
It is liked baked hot chocolate. Very interesting and tasty. Top that with heavy cream, shaved chocolate or ice cream and you have the most amazing dessert. Of course the main reason I made this cake is the name. MILO! Yes, yes and yes. Baking can be the healing. And this cake was it for me.
So, what did I learn about this recipe?
This cake was made by Greer Worsley. She made this recipe based on the famous magic cake that separates in the oven into three layers. Then I google famous magic cake, found Chocolate Magic Cake and now my mind is spinning 360 above and beyond of many possibilities that I can make and try. See, this is the baking magic for all of us. Start healing with baking.
I made cake based on name and then I discovered there is more like: Australia’s Best Recipes, famous chef from there Greg Worsley, famous magic cake on google that I never heard of and want to try and so much more. Because we are all here to help each other and not just survive but to thrive in this magic life. And from Australia to Canada we are all connected. BTW, now more than ever we must share and be kind to each other. So, thank you Greer for your recipe. I hope you don’t mind that I adopted your cake and it is living another life in Canada and North America.
Now, let’s make the magic cake or I like to call it ACTION TIME.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Caster Sugar – if you can’t find it in your country please use the regular white sugar. It will work.
Making Caster Sugar at Home
You can make caster sugar using a coffee grinder. Place the sugar into coffee grinder and pulse until reaches super fine but not icing sugar consistency. Just think caster sugar is the middle child between regular white sugar and icing sugar. Have fun.
MILO – is a chocolate and malt powder produced by Nestle. The drink was originally developed by Australian inventor Thomas Mayne in 1934. To learn more about MILO visit the LINK You can buy MILO drink in Superstore, Walmart or any store near you. It looks like this:
