Chocolate Biscuit Cake

Can you imagine that you make your favorite recipe for a short time and without baking? I couldn’t believe this till I haven’t tried this Chocolate Biscuit Cake.

What are Digestive Biscuits?

Digestive Biscuits are mildly sweet, crunchy, and crumbly biscuits. That originated in Scotland. These are one of the most popular biscuits in the UK. They are similar to Graham crackers sold in the US. Alternatively, you can use another type of cookie or biscuit for your choice, I would recommend something simple and plain like tea biscuits or vanilla cookies.

If you are wondering how to make a cake from biscuits, read on. It is a simple recipe so anyone can do it.

How to Make Chocolate Biscuit Cake

  • In a small saucepan melt together the butter, golden syrup, cocoa powder, sugar and water.
  • In a large bowl break up the biscuits into pieces around (make some smaller and some larger for texture)
  • Pour the melted ingredients into the bowl with the biscuits.
  • Using a wooden spoon mix everything together until well combined.
  • Press the cake mixture onto the bottom of the prepared 8-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray
  • Set in the fridge to firm

To make chocolate topping:

  • In a medium saucepan stir together cream, chocolate, and sugar on low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Cool and pour over the cake.
  • When the topping is set and cooled again run a thin knife around the sides and remove the springform pan sides.
  • Sprinkle the sides of the cake with digestive biscuit crumbs if desired

Cooks tips:

  • Digestive Biscuits: As noted above, you can use anything from regular tea-time biscuits to Graham crackers and everything in between. Just go for something crunchy. I imagine Biscoff cookies would be amazing, and so would Oreos.
  • Golden Syrup: is important in this recipe – it gives it sweetness and adds to the rich flavor.
  • Cocoa: Use the best quality cocoa powder you can find.
  • Water: gives the cake the perfect texture as it can get too hard in the fridge.
  • Bittersweet chocolate: gives the best flavor for the icing on this cake but you can use milk chocolate or super dark chocolate if you would prefer.

 Can I add other ingredients?

You can add anything else you would like or have on hand. Nuts and dried fruit work incredibly well in this recipe.

How to freeze Chocolate Biscuit Cake

You can freeze slices of the cake or the whole chocolate biscuit cake can be frozen. Make sure you wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, twice then wrap them in foil. If wrapping slices I will place them all in a freezer bag once wrapped in the foil.

Great for whenever you’re craving chocolate, it’s hard to beat this easy chocolate slice recipe! Enjoy!
