Chocolate biscuit cake

Chocolate biscuit cake

Saw a blog post once that inspired me to change my old ‘biscuit salami’ recipe and transform it into something more elegant. I couldn’t resist obeying that particular recipe, so I created my way on the high way with this one.

Ingredients

Cake body

  • 400 gr simple biscuits
  • 150 gr butter 40% fat
  • 150 ml milk 1.5% fat
  • 200 gr black cocoa powder
  • 10 ml rum essence
  • 30 gr honey

Topping

  • 100 gr dark chocolate 70%
  • 100 ml milk 1.5% fat
  • 20 gr walnuts
  • 10 gr hazelnuts
  • 5 gr almond flakes

Instructions

Cake body

  • Break the biscuits in small pieces. 
  • Cut the butter in chunks and melt it on low heat.
  •  Mix the biscuits with the melted butter, 150 ml milk, the rum essence and the honey. Mix it very well, then put it in a cake baking tin.

Topping

  • Melt the chocolate in the remaining milk on low heat, then evenly spread it on top of the biscuits composition.
  • Cut the walnuts and the hazelnuts in chunks, then randomly sprinkle them on top of the cake along with the almond flakes.
  • Keep in fridge for at least 3 hrs before serving.

Notes

If the composition is too thick, then add some more milk to make it easier to mix together.
