RECIPE: Calling All Chocolate Lovers! You Need To Make THis Chocolate Biscuit Cake

So much chocolatey goodness

Emma lahiffe

Of all the many chocolatey treats in the world, this one is by far and away our favourite at the moment. It’s really easy to make, incredibly tasty and it’s a major crowd pleaser.

It must be served with a steaming hot cup of tea. Check out the simple recipe below.

Good luck, and tweet us a photo if you’re making these at home!

Ingredients:

175g (6oz) Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter

2 tbsp Golden Syrup

250g (8.8oz) Dark Chocolate (55-79% cocoa solids cut into pieces)

280g (10oz) Rich Tea Biscuits

85g (3oz) Raisins

85g (3oz) Chopped Roasted Hazelnuts

Directions:

  • Lightly grease a 23cm (9in) cake tin.
  • Melt the butter, golden syrup and chocolate in the microwave or in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a very low heat, and then stir until smooth.
  • Crush the biscuits with a rolling pin, but leave some slightly larger chunks, and tip into the melted chocolate mixture with the raisins and hazelnuts.
  • Stir well.
  • Spoon the chocolate mixture into the prepared tin, pressing it down well to get a smooth even surface.
  • When cool, chill in the fridge, then cut into squares and serve with tea!
