Dalek Chocolate Cake
All the cool chocabloggers aren’t satisfied with Death by Chocolate. These days we demand Extermination by Chocolate.
With the absence of 15inch tall chocolate Daleks in the shops, here’s one I prepared earlier.
There are two possible methods to follow with regard to this recipe; one. Read the following instructions or two. buy as many chocolate items as you can carry home in a large family estate car and simply make it up as you go along.
Ingredients
- Two 8 inch chocolate sandwich cakes (recipe here)
- Two Chocolate swiss rolls
- McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes
- At least 400g of milk chocolate. (buy more, you can never have too much chocolate)
- 100g bar of plain chocolate
- 100g bar of white chocolate
(you won’t need the full 100g, but hey..) - Cadbury Flake*
- Cadbury Chocolate Fingers*
- Cadbury chocolate buttons*
- Smarties*
- Large box Maltesers
* You will require only a few of each of the above. I bought multi-packs, just in case.
Method
Melt the chocolate in a dish over a pan of simmering water (take care kids!)
Cut about 1inch from around one of the chocolate cakes. Try to hold the knife at an angle so that the cake tapers, getting thinner toward the top
Now, stick the smaller cake on to the top of the uncut one. 
Anticipating a large and heavy cake I erred on the side of caution and used a large dollop of the melted chocolate to sandwich these together.
Cut one of the chocolate swiss rolls in half. Do the same with second swiss roll, and using just one of the halves, cut it in half length ways. Stick these four pieces together using melted chocolate (see photo)
Place the swiss rolls on top of the cake using, yes you’ve guessed it, melted chocolate, place a single piece of swiss roll on top of this and then start to cover the entire cake in melted chocolate. If you have the time, do this in layers, allowing one layer of melted chocolate to set before adding the next, and the next… I didn’t have the time so I poured the entire ½ thick chocolate on in one go. This proved rather frustrating as it continually gloops to the base.
Before the chocolate sets completely (I was slightly insane by this point) start decorating the cake to give it it’s Dalek features.
Place Maltesers in columns on the bottom half of the cake to form the skirt. Do Daleks wear skirts?
Use half a Cadbury Flake and chocolate fingers to make the sticky-out-bits, and put a chocolate button on the ends (using the good ol’ tried ‘n’ tested melted chocolate method)
Stack three Jaffa Cakes on top of the cake, followed by two stacks of three chocolate buttons. Add a Smartie to the top of the buttons.
Place a band of white chocolate squares around the neck. You could of course pipe some melted white chocolate to create a similar effect but time was running out for me; birthday boy was about to come home from school and there I was, covered in chocolate and I hadn’t even started on the proper party food yet.
Using melted plain chocolate, pipe details around the Dalek; stripes down the Jaffa cakes, and lines between the Malteser columns for eg. I made an effort to do this, but I know you can do better.
Leave to set in a cool place, then…
Exterminate!… exterminate!…
i think it looks awful, my little sister could have made a cake better than that!
I want one! I want one!
Congratulations.

I’m gona try to say what I think. I’m brasilian and I think your cake is good, but here in state of Paraiba my wife make a choco cake better than this, and the secret is to control the level of sugar, but if you need more information better you lern brasilian portuguese cause she does not know read or speak english. So, aprenda portugues e veja o (look for) http://www.flogao.com.br/marilenemaroja
Of course we’re begining, but if you wanna talk about cakes, pies and salties call my e-mail http://www.maroja54@hotmail.com as a good brasilian I’ll try to understand you, but try to translate your text at first. And remember, never is too late to learn portuguese of BRASIL (NOT BRAZIL)
mmmmmmmmmm Chocolate Dalek
tried to find a dalek cake at every supermarket going ..no joy…will be making this tomorrow ..hope my son likes it!!!! .
awesome!!! extremely delicious!!!! hopefully someone will give me that kind of delicious chocolate cake!!!
CHOCOLATE CAKE
Ingredients 5 tablespoons butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1-1/2 cups flour 2 squares chocolate 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
Method–Cream butter and sugar. Add yolks of eggs beaten until thick, then milk, and all but 2 tablespoons of the flour. Beat thoroughly, add melted chocolate and vanilla. Add remaining flour, salt and baking powder sifted together. Fold in stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Bake in moderate oven.
[edit] CHOCOLATE CAKE
For two sheets of cake, use three ounces of Walter Baker & Co.’s Premium No. 1 Chocolate, three eggs, one cupful and three-fourths of sifted pastry flour, one cupful and three-fourths of sugar, half a cupful of butter, half a cupful of milk, half a teaspoonful of vanilla extract, one teaspoonful and a half of baking powder.
Grate the chocolate. Beat the butter to a cream, and gradually beat in the sugar. Beat in the milk and vanilla, then the eggs (already well beaten), next the chocolate, and finally the flour, in which the baking powder should be mixed. Pour into two well buttered shallow cake pans. Bake for twenty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Frost or not, as you like.

your sincerly
mark
also i think you such a thick person all these people who using this idea is stupid because this lady or man is fuckin wasting our money on shit snidy thing like this i want to make it for mr dr who birthday i really like ^o^ give over u want to make shit thing like your rather cut a fresh cream cake on birthday than cook that pooooo!!
Think this is a brilliant idea for a cake, and despite what Mark appears to think, it is for children and not for some person who appears not to have any sense(Mark)and is obviously frustrated, has no sense of humour and seriously needs to get a life and a family. It is obvious that he does not have one otherwise he would find this as good an idea as any other. He ought to be deleted from the internet!!! EXTERMINATE-MARK! Keep the good ideas coming, I am going to make it for my son’s birthday and I am sure that he will love it…. thanks for the idea.
the darlek cake lookes awesome it lookes very tasty i am baking any cake i want for my gcse yr 11 i like the idea tnx and bye
Ya Mate.
We love it

Holy mama! I love it! If only you had some idea of my unhealthy Doctor Who obsession! Dalek in cake form – genius. Hope you don’t mind that I have blogged about it!
WOW thanks making tomorrow…in school….lol….wedding cake…grow up
I think the cake looks marvelous. Beyond my capacity in making sheet cakes! Maybe someday. :) My bf would love it for his birthday. And to Mark, in the spirit of Christmas, I hope someone gifts you a dictionary. You certainly could use it!
I can’t believe the comments from Mark (above) – get a life. This is bit of fun, no-one is asking you to pay for it / eat it. If you had an ounce of sense, you’d see some people on here have made it for their children or other family / friends and it’s obviously gone down well. Don’t rain on everyone’s parade – just cos I’m not into Dr Who doesn’t mean I’m going to say it’s not good, cos I’m not an idiot. I think it’s great that someone has a) gone to the trouble of conjuring up an appropriate recipe and b) posted it online for the internet community to share.
Grow up.
Why not use a Tunnocks tea cake for a dome on the top?
i wonder how good it tasted
