No-cook Fudge Cake
Don't want to use the oven? ..... Well this No-cook Fudge Cake is the kid party cake for you.
My kids love it and it's my husband's favorite. It's very moreish and very rich.
Ingredients:
110g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup (light corn syrup)
220g crushed sweet biscuits
30g seedless raisins
2 tablespoons glacé cherries, quartered
145g plain chocolate squares, broken into small pieces
To Finish (Fudge Icing):
55g plain (bitter) chocolate
30g butter;
3 dessertspoons water
175g icing (confectioners) sugar
Extra icing sugar and chocolate to decorate (optional).
Method:
Grease and line the base of a 16oz loaf tin (2-cup capacity oblong loaf pan) with a piece of buttered foil or Clingfilm (I prefer Clingfilm as it comes off easier).
Crush the biscuits. I bash the biscuits in a double plastic bag with a rolling pin but be careful not to over bash as you want them to be in small pieces rather than crumbs.
Break choclate into small pieces. Again I bash this with a rolling pin whilst still in its wrapper.
Melt the butter and syrup in a saucepan and stir in the crushed biscuits.
Stir in the fruit and broken chocolate.
Press the mixture firmly into the tin and leave to cool till set.
To Finish:
Melt the chocolate and butter with the water over a basin of hot water. You could use a microwave but have the power on very low so as not to burn the chocolate.
Remove from the heat and stir in the sifted icing sugar and beat until cool and thick.
Remove the cake from the tin, peel off the silver foil or Clingfilm and cover with the fudge icing. Lightly dust with sieved icing sugar and grated chocolate.
