Easy Fridge Cake Recipe – Baking with my boys

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Can someone tell me where weekends actually go?! Whether I pack in loads or just take it easy, it always seems to fly by and before I know it, it’s Monday again.  What I really want to do is one weekend just lock all the doors, switch off the phones, stay in my pj’s with the boys and literally chill ALL weekend.

Anyway whilst I try and figure out how to pull that weekend off, I’ve literally started this evening running…[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]18:00 – Home from work

Easy Fridge Cake Recipe

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Ingredients

• 250g Digestive Biscuits
• 300g Milk Chocolate
• 100g Unsalted Butter
• 150g Golden Syrup

Method

1. Line a 20cm shallow, square-shaped tin with cling film (leaving extra hanging over the sides).

2. Put the digestives into a sealable freezer bag, then happily bash the biscuits into pieces using a rolling pin (perfect job for a little one).

3. Melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

4. Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately stir in the broken biscuits, and any extra ingredients you fancy adding – see below for ideas.

5. Spoon the mixture into the tin. Press down with a wooden spoon to level.

6. Once cooled, put the tin in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set.

7. Turn out the cake by turning upside down onto board/plate.  Peel off the cling film and cut the cake into squares and enjoy!

Ingredients Ideas:  Mini Marshmallows, honeycomb, choc chips (for true chocoholics), Hazelnuts…[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”56103″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_single_image media=”55504″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]P.S Check out some of my previous recipes for even more ideas including Chocolate Biscotti and my personal favourite Chocolate Cornflake Cake.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
