Chocolate biscuit cake - How do you make yours?

maguic24

How do you make yours? My cousin made a chocolate biscuit cake yesterday with cooking chocolate and golden syrup (bleurgh!!)

I always use ordinary chocolate (dark & milk) and condensed milk to make mine. I find it much yummier. Golden syrup makes me queasy, it's up there with sweet corn & offal, I can not stomach it. I can't figure out for the life of me, why most use golden syrup to make (or the majority of people I know). . . .

Is there any other condensed milkers out there? :pac:

Chocolate biscuit cake is so overrated, and overused - and it's not even cake.

Spotted dick 'n custard FTW.

I make rocky road instead, much nicer than chocolate biscuit cake, quicker too

Cakes & Bakes. But if the OP wants answers from AHers, best left here.

Yeah but I'm not very good at cooking and I didn't want a backlash for being such a noob especially considering it's biscuit cake. :pac:

Ya don't even cook it.

Hi Hill Billy

I post here all the time, it's like my home on boards. I'm just looking for a general opinion but if you want to move it you can.

You'd probably get better advice there. No offence, AHers.

Moved with redirect from After Hours (so for a while AH posters can see where the thread went and reply). Good luck!

"Better"...ah 'tis very subjective.

I would never use cooking chocolate to make a biscuit cake or rocky road. I just feel it lacks taste. I have made biscuit cake using syrup and condensed and personally, condensed is far richer and tastier.

I use ordinary chocolate, butter, golden syrup AND condensed milk. Super healthy!!

maguic24

Yeah!!!! There's other condensed milk people. ^____^

Butter, golden syrup, coco powder, digestives for the base, and then dairy milk for the top. Delish!

Exactly how i make mine

Mr. CooL ICE

Butter, sugar, egg, cadbury's drinking chocolate, 70% chocolate, rich tea, topped with more 70%. Sex in a parchment paper lined baking tin.

Butter, sugar, egg, cocoa powder and broken biscuits - digestives or fruit shorties or even gingernuts, depending on the mood. Rarely put chocolate on it as it's like a dark, dense brownie with fantastic chocolate flavour. I bake with cocoa in preference to chocolate whenever I can. Old fashioned, that's me.

I use the Odlums recipe, it's a golden syrup one, and I use good quality chocolate, and also throw in marshmallows and maltesers
