Gluten-free Chocolate Biscuit Cake

I’ve made chocolate biscuit cakes in the past, and they’ve always gone down really well with the family. I think this is my best one to date, and it’s gluten free, so it’s OK for people with coeliac disease to eat. 

This isn’t a recipe as such, because I didn’t measure anything out. I’ll have to measure it next time, but to be honest it’s very straight forward, and you can’t really go wrong.

Ingredients:

  • 200g of chocolate – check if it’s gluten free (I used gluten free milk chocolate)
  • 175g of butter (I used a new pack to avoid cross contamination) 
  • A good glug of golden syrup 
  • A heaped dessert spoon of Nutella (optional) (again a new jar, to avoid cross contamination)
  • 130g Lidl Deluxe Gluten Free All Butter Cookies Triple Chocolate 150g
  • 130g Gluten Free Chocolate Digestive Biscuits
  • A handful of Cadbury mini eggs (plus some to decorate) 

Method:

  • Melt the chocolate, butter, and golden syrup together (you’re meant to do this over a pan of hot water, but I do it in a microwave, just do it for around 20 seconds at a time and stir, because you don’t want the chocolate to burn).
  • Add in the Nutella if you are using it, and give it a good stir
  • Break the biscuits and add them to the chocolate mix, stir well
  • Add the mini eggs and stir again 
  • *You can also add nuts, dried fruit, marshmallows, and anything else if you want to (check that everything you use is gluten free) 
  • Add the mix to a deep dish, I used a lasagne dish that I lined with cling film (it’s easier to get them out of the dish if you do that).
  • Pop some mini eggs on the top. 
  • With a sharp knife, cut it into as many squares as you’d like. It’s very rich, so smaller is better.
  • Put the cake in the fridge until it’s set (around 2 – 3 hours if it will be safe for that long!) 
  • Enjoy with a cuppa (optional!)
