Chocolate Biscuit Cake

I made this sweet treat yesterday and it came out scrumptious!

 

Ingredients

• 125g (4oz) butter
• 60g (2oz) caster sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• 2 tbsp milk
• 250g (8oz) arrowroot biscuit, or any plain biscuits like a digestive, or a mixture, roughly crushed (in a bag, bashing with a rolling pin)
• 60g (2oz) walnuts pieces, chopped
• 60g (2oz) raisins
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
• 18cm (7in) square cake tin, lined with bakewell paper

Method

1. Put the butter, sugar, cocoa, syrup and milk in a pan and heat gently, stirring until melted together to make a chocolate sauce.

2. Add the crushed biscuits, walnuts, raisins and vanilla, if using, and press the mixture into the tin. Chill in the fridge until set firm. Cut into squares.
