Fridge Cake Recipe

Perfect for any party

Fridge cake is my go to recipe when I need something quick and yummy to make for any occassion. It's super easy to make and it won't be around for long once you bring it out!

My friends are always asking me to make this for their birthdays so I hope you enjoy it as much as they do.

What you'll need

• 225g/8oz butter
• 75g/3oz light soft brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons golden syrup
• 5 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 325g/12oz digestive biscuits
• 225g/8oz plain chocolate

You'll also need a baking tray. I recommend a 12x8 baking tray but you can adjust the ingredients based on the size you have. You can find baking trays here

Method

1. Grease and line the baking tray
2. Melt the butter and sugar and syrup together in a large pan. Once melted sift in the cocoa powder and stir until fully mixed in
3. Crush 2/3 of the digestives in a bowl with the tip of a rolling pin
I personally prefer the digestives to still be quite chunky so try not to crush them too much or they will get lost in the mixture
4. Add the digestives to the butter mixture and stir in
At this point you could also add in cherries, marshmellows or dates if you want some extra texture in there
5. Spread the butter and biscuit mix over the bottom of the baking tray
6. Use the remaining digestives to create a layer on top of the butter and biscuit mix
7. Melt the chocolate either in a bowl over boiling water or in the microwave and once melted pour onto the baking tray
8. Leave in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours at least, or overnight if you have the time
9. Enjoy!
