Chocolate Biscuit Cake
Type: Desserts and Baked Goods
Biscuits taste even better when they have chocolate in them.
Prep Time: 10M
Serves: Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 6oz (11/2 sticks) butter, cut into pieces
- 9oz (250g) semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
- 2 tbsp Lyle's Golden Syrup or light corn syrup
- 1lb (450g) digestive or sweetmeal biscuits, coarsely crushed
- handful of plump golden raisins
- handful of natural almonds, coarsely chopped
Directions:
- Lightly grease an 8in (20cm) square baking pan. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, chocolate, and syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring, for 5-10 minutes, or until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the biscuits, raisins, and almonds. Mix well, then press the mixture into the pan with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate to cool completely, then wrap with plastic wrap, and freeze.
- Vary the fruit and nuts to your taste-a handful of chopped cherries and hazelnuts works well, for instance.
- To crush the digestive biscuits, put them in a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin. Don't break them up too finely, though-you want the cake to have plenty of texture.
