Instant Recipe :: Chocolate Biscuit Cake


It was Prince William and Catherine's wedding. A magnificent cake, a beautiful bride donned in innocent white, a handsome prince waiting with love in his eyes to make the vows for life. It was beautiful. They (our two girls, Su and Asra) had watched it on TV, like the rest of you and it made them want to be in love.
'Ah! The kiss...'
'Ah! The dress...'
'Ah! The cake...'
'Mmm.. I want that cake too.'
'That's huge yar.'
'Mmmm... But I wanna eat a cake now. I feel it.'
'You always 'feel' stuff.' came the reply with a smile. 'How about I make you a cake? A royal cake? Not like the one in from the wedding, but the one from the Prince's bachelor party?'
'Why are you asking me for?' grinned the other. 'Go for it in our style!'
'Oh YEAH! Be the Best style.' they said together in that typical rock style. Although it doesn't help in the recipe, they did it to boost themselves up. Some girls are like that.

Chocolate Biscuit Cake

You will need:

• 1 pack digestive biscuits
• 3-4 tablespoons peanut butter
• 4 big Milk chocolate bars
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• An eggwhite or milkmaid for binding
• Creamy chocolate icing

Get Started

• Break the digestive biscuits into almond sized chunks.

• In a separate heat proof bowl, put pieces of chocolate and butter. Melt this on a water bath.

• To this, add peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix well.

• Remove from heat and allow to cool a little. Add binder (egg white or milkmaid - don't add both)

• Mix well. Each bit of biscuit must get coated with the chocolate.

• Line a dish with cling film and layer the batter on it.

• Refrigerate it for 45 minutes.

• Remove and add a generous amount of chocolate icing or melted chocolate on top.

• Eat it :D


:: Variations ::

How to melt chocolate and butter
This recipe encourages you to be creative; you can substitute peanut butter for the flavour of your choice. A few suggestions are

• Orange juice and rind
• Hazelnut or chestnut syrup
• A few handful of flaked almonds
• Honey

:: Note ::
When melting chocolate always make sure that the pieces are small or the chocolate will burn easily. Always melt chocolate on a water-bath or microwave the chocolate chunks and butter on high for 30 secs or on low  for a minute.
