Hi Guys,
Hope everyone enjoyed the Royal Wedding extravaganza! We LOVED it! It inspired me to convert Prince Williams favorite treat which he had made into a wedding cake. Shhh don’t tell William but it has a striking resemblance to hedgehog. But this week we are all Royal and fancy so no ‘hedgehog’ around here!
It’s so super easy and oh so delicious!
Ingredients :
120g Chocolate. I used good quality organic fair trade chocolate. It suggested to use Dark and I did but I am more of a milk fan so go with what you like best!
180g tea biscuits (I used Marie biscuits but you could use anything in that style. If your a mum you probably have milk arrowroot as a staple )
100g Sugar
120g Butter
1 Egg
Chocolate for icing.
Method:
- Add sugar and mill on speed 9 for 10 seconds
- Scrape sides insert butterfly and add butter.
- Cream butter and sugar for 30 seconds speed 4
- Remove Butterfly
- Add chocolate into TM bowl.
- Melt / Combine for 4 minutes speed 3 50 degrees
- Allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Add egg and mix for 5 seconds speed 4.
- Add Biscuits to the bowl and mix on speed 3 until all combined, time will be between 15-30 seconds. I had a helper who broke all my biscuits in half for me first. It was mainly to keep her away from the chocolate with an important job 🙂 you will need to keep a really close eye on this stage, you want to mix it with out blending it all together. Try to keep a good consistency.
- Pop into a spring form cake tin and push it all down to give it a nice smooth finish.
- Pop it into the fridge for at least 3 hours.
- Melt chocolate for icing and decorating into the tm bowl. Melt speed 3 4 minutes 50 degrees.
- Turn cake out of tin and pour chocolate over top and spread evenly.
- Cut into slices and enjoy!
Hope you enjoy this yummy little slice / cake. It’s a super simple recipe that will wow your visitors or spoil the kiddies 🙂
