Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 250 grams dark chocolate
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup
- 200 grams digestive biscuits
- 100 grams raisins
- 100 grams chopped mixed nuts
Instructions
Prepare a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake tin by lining it with greaseproof paper or parchment, ensuring the paper extends beyond the edges for easy removal later.
Break the digestive biscuits into small pieces, about the size of a dime, by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or by hand in a bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate, stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth, combined mixture.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the golden syrup until fully combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broken biscuits, raisins, and chopped mixed nuts.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients, ensuring all the pieces are well-coated with the chocolate mix. Stir thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared cake tin, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even surface.
Cover with cling film and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until it is completely set. For a firmer texture, leave it overnight.
Once set, remove the cake from the tin using the parchment paper overhang, slice into portions, and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
