Chocolate Fridge Cake image

Here's an easy cake that even a small child can make with a little help from an adult. Feel free to experiment with different fillings, as long as the ratio of chocolate to the other goodies remains the same.

Time 20m

Yield 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

250 g digestive biscuits or 250 g graham crackers
100 g pecan nuts, shelled
100 g sliced almonds
100 g glace cherries, chopped
150 g butter
1 tablespoon molasses
200 g good quality chocolate (about 70 percent cocoa solids)
cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Break the biscuits into small pieces and put in a large bowl.
  • Add in both kinds of nuts and the cherries and stir to mix.
  • Put the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over the lowest possible heat until the chocolate and butter are melted.
  • You may have to give it a stir or two to combine the ingredients.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the biscuits and use a spoon to mix everything until the chocolate is evenly distributed across the rest of the ingredients.
  • Line a loaf pan with saran wrap, leaving lots of extra at the edges to cover the top of the finished cake.
  • Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan.
  • You may have to use the back of the spoon to pack it down.
  • Pull the extra saran wrap over the top and use your hands to push down firmly on the cake, making sure it is well packed together.
  • Place in the fridge for two hours to cool, then take out and slice.
  • For a special touch, dust with cocoa powder.
