Hello you beautiful people, on a recent visit to my wonderful Nan's house the subject of cakes came up, my Nan has always been amazing when it comes to cooking and food in general (when we were there in the holidays lunch was always stunning with cheese muffins being a personal favorite of mine!) and she has amassed so many tried and tested recipes that bring back memories for the whole family. I had a look through her recipe box and found this little delight.
This recipe requires no baking that's why I love it so much!
You will need:
- 300 g of Rich Tea Biscuits- 175 g of Dark Chocolate ( I used Bournville)
- 397 g of Condensed Milk (sweetened)
- 115 g of unsalted butter
- 30 g of Raisins
To decorate (optional):
- 175 g of dark chocolate
How to work the magic:
In a large mixing bowl crush the biscuits into crumbs. Stir in the raisins.
Melt the butter in a pan on a low heat, add the condensed milk and 175 g of the chocolate. stir until the chocolate has melted. Pour the melted mix into the biscuit crumbs and stir until well combined.
Pack the mix into a 6 Inch cake tin (that has been lined with clingfilm or grease proof paper) and put into the fridge for 3 hours to let it set.
Optional, Decoration:
Placed the (now chilled) cake on a cooling rack (with a tray or clingfilm underneath, trust me you will need it).
Melt 175 g of Dark Chocolate. Pour over the cake until evenly covered and allow to set.
I chose not to decorate it with the melted chocolate but it tastes great either way. This cake is great with a coffee in the afternoon.
