CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE



Chocolate Biscuit Cake image

Prince William broke with royal tradition by having a groom's cake at his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011, requesting a classic British icebox cake (or fridge cake, as the Brits say). It's made out of McVitie's biscuits and lots of chocolate. The cake is also said to be a favorite of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, who likes eating a slice with her afternoon tea.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted blanched hazelnuts
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 14-ounce package digestive biscuits, such as McVitie's, broken into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1/3 cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's)
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon golden syrup (such as Lyle's)
Mini chocolate chips, for decorating

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan; set aside. Toss the hazelnuts and cookies in a large bowl. Combine the butter, golden syrup and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the butter is melted (do not boil). Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, cocoa powder and vanilla until smooth, then whisk in the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the cookie mixture and stir to coat. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down evenly until tightly packed. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Make the ganache: Put the chocolate in a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream and golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup dissolves and the mixture is just bubbling around the edges. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let sit at room temperature until thickened but still pourable, 30 minutes to 1 hour. (It should look like a soft pudding.)
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature, 45 minutes. Remove the springform ring and invert the cake onto a cake stand or serving plate; remove the bottom of the pan. Pour about one-third of the cooled ganache over the top of the cake and gently spread with a small offset spatula, allowing the excess to drip down the sides. Repeat with the remaining ganache in two more batches until the top and sides of the cake are covered. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips around the top edge of the cake.

CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE (THE QUEEN'S FAVORITE CAKE - TIFFIN RECIPE)



Chocolate Biscuit Cake (The Queen's Favorite Cake - Tiffin Recipe) image

A chocolate and cookie concoction that is called a tiffin in the UK and happens to be Queen Elizabeth II's favorite cake!

Provided by adapted by Christina Conte

Categories     Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces good quality dark chocolate
chocolate curls, bits of a chocolate bar, or whatever you would like to put on top the cake
8 ounces Rich Tea biscuits or similar cookies/biscuits
5 ounces unsalted butter, softened
5 ounces Baker's/caster sugar (if the sugar isn't fine, it might be gritty)
5 ounces dark chocolate
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. Butter a 6" cake tin and line the bottom with parchment or waxed paper. 2. Break the tea biscuits into small pieces (about 1" long) and put into a bowl and set aside. 3. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 4. Melt the dark chocolate using the defrost function of the microwave or over a double boiler. Stop heating the chocolate when it is almost melted. Add the melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well until combined. 5. Gently add in the Rich Tea biscuit pieces until they are fully coated in chocolate mixture. 6. Put this into the prepared cake tin, carefully trying to fill all the air spots so there aren't holes in the bottom or middle of the cake (the bottom will be the top). 7. Place the tin in the fridge for about 4 hours. When ready to finish the cake, remove from the fridge and allow to stand for about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and turn upside down onto a cooling rack placed on a sheet tray (or anything to catch chocolate drips). Remove the parchment paper. 8. Now, melt the dark chocolate for the coating in a double boiler or again in the microwave on defrost to slowly melt the chocolate, stirring at intervals. Stop heating the chocolate when there are still pieces of chocolate. Continue stirring off the heat until completely smooth. 9. Slowly pour the melted chocolate over the top and sides of the cake and smooth using a butter or palette knife. 10. Allow to set at room temperature. When set, remove the cake and place on a serving plate and decorate as desired.
