I made a cake for a party. So many people asked for the recipe, I thought I'd put it here, then they might read a few of the other posts on this site. This is not a healthy cake, it's basically an attempt to solidify brandy.
Ingredients:
8 oz finely crushed digestive biscuits (it's OK to leave a few small lumps, they add texture)
8 oz plain chocolate (use the good stuff)
4 oz butter
1 oz brown sugar
2 oz chopped walnuts
2 oz chopped glace cherries (although I leave them whole)
Brandy to taste. Slosh quite a bit in, you want to know it's there. I used a quarter of a bottle for the party cake, but that's my taste.
Method:
1) Line an 8" dish with foil.
2) Melt butter and chocolate slowly in a basin over hot water. Stir occasionally until well blended.
3) Remove from heat and stir in sugar, walnuts and cherries.
4) Gradually add the biscuit crumb, blending thoroughly with the chocolate mixture.
5) Slosh in the brandy. Taste frequently to ensure quality, freshness, absorption rate and taste.
6) Pour into the lined dish.
7) Chill in fridge for at least two hours. The cake, not you, fool...
Enjoy!
