Newest Chocolate Biscuit Cake Recipe


I love to bake but there is no question that it can be quite stressful. The cake may not rise, it could crack. Sometimes, I just like something sweet that doesn't cause any of that panic.

My latest rediscovery is Chocolate Biscuit Cake. It's so easy to make, literally melt the chocolate,butter and golden syrup and then add in the biscuits and maltesers.

My recipe (for 8inch round tin)

🍫 450g Good Quality Chocolate ( I like a mixture of milk and dark)
🍫 400g Unsalted Butter
🍫 175ml Golden Syrup ( I like to use the squeeze bottle to avoid mess)
🍫 1 packet Digestives
🍫 1/2 packet Rich Tea
🍫 1 small packet of Malteasers

Grease your cake tin and line with baking paper, pour mixture in and leave set in the fridge for 3-4 hours. 

For special occasions, I decorate with kit kats/chocolate fingers and whichever sweets takes the fancy of who I am making it for. There's no doubt this is c not so calorie friendly but you would only eat a small slice so it goes quite far for special occassions.

Have you ever made Chocolate Biscuit Cake or do you have a favourite cake you like to bake?

Chocolate Biscuit Cake

On Wednesday, it was my brother's birthday. Not being bale to get up to Dublin for it, I wanted to do something nice for him with everything that has happened. So I invited him and my dad up for dinner yesterday and decided to treat him to his all time favourite cake - Chocolate Biscuit. I love that he likes this because it is so easy to make and you dont have to put it into the oven.

Here is my go to recipe for 4 people

220g Milk Chocolate
110g Dark Chocolate (brother isn't a massive fan of Dark chocolate, if you are simply double this and half the milk chocolate)
3 tbsp Golden Syrup
75g Malteasers
110g Butter
225g Biscuits, I use a mix of chocolate digestives and rich tea
1 bag Mint Aero and remaining Malteasers for decoration

All you need to do is melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave. (I give it 30 seconds at a time so the chocolate doesn't burn), mix in the golden syrup, crush the biscuits, pop in the malteasers and stir until combined. I used an 8inch round tin with a cake liner so it was easy to remove. when half set, decorate with chocolate of your choice.
I ran out of Malteasers :( 
It's hard to make a chocolate biscuit cake look fancy without going all out with fondant or doing a kit kat cake but it tasted amazing. Next time I'll mix in the mint bubbles.

Are you a fan of chocolate biscuit cake?
