Method

Chocolate Biscuit Cake is a community recipe submitted by Glitters and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  • Grease the baking tray and line it with baking parchment.
  • Gently heat the butter, sugar, cocoa and syrup in a pan large enough to take all the ingredients. Fold in the biscuits and stir over the heat for about 1 minute.
  • Press the cake mixture firmly into the tray. It might be quite hot so use the end of a wooden spoon and not your fingers.
  • Chill for 2 hours before breaking into slices. This is best kept in the fridge so that it won't be too messy to eat with your hands.

    • I had to double the chocolate sauce in this. However I did not use the biscuit mentioned but rich tree and ginger biscuits...not sure if this made a difference.
