Very Chocolately Broken Biscuit Cake
My wonderful Great-Aunt (I had to look up her official relationship to me… she’s just Auntie Eileen to me) passed on this recipe to my mum a fair few years ago. It’s just a base recipe really – brilliant on its own, but feel free to change as you see fit. I hear it’s exceptionally good if you use hob-nobs… (and I used dark chocolate digestives for the picture you see below). It’s also really, really simple & quick – should take 10 minutes top.
Ingredients:
125g Butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
250g digestive biscuits
1 dessertspoon drinking chocolate
1 tablespoon raisins
125g melted chocolate
1 dessertspoon golden caster sugar
1 Tablespoon Raisins
Method:
1) Get a pyrex bowl. Put in it the butter, syrup, raisins, sugar and drinking chocolate. Melt mixture over a pan of boiling water (or do what I do, which is stick it in the microwave for a minute or so – until you’re sure it’s all melted together).
2) Get a sandwich bag (I used clingfilm – they stop the crumbs going everywhere), crush the biscuits, add the crumbs to the melted mixture. Stir until they’re covered in chocolately goodness.
3) spread in a dish or tray – I use a 22cm cake tin.
4) Melt chocolate in microwave – approx 30-40 seconds on high. Stir to make sure it’s smooth.
5) spread chocolate on top of mixture. Allow to set
- before
eating. (I usually fail, but it’s worth waiting. I speed up the process by sticking it in the fridge for 20 mins.
6. Scoff, pretend you’ve never heard of the word ‘calories’. Enjoy.
Biscuit cake!
