Biscuit Cake

Ingredients

Marie Biscuits- 42 no
Butter- 3 cups
Sugar- 3/4 cup
Hot water- 1 cup
Coffee- 3 tbsp
Cocoa powder- 6 tbsp
Little rum or whiskey ( optional)

Method:


  • Heat water. Stir in coffee
  • Beat butter and sugar and cocoa together
  • Soak biscuits in coffee water
  • Place the biscuits in the form of a layer ( 7 biscuits in one layer) in a dish


  • Layer with cocoa mixture
  • Repeat this process till six layers are completed
  • Top with cocoa mixture
  • Refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving



TIP: I used chocolate graham crackers instead of Marie biscuits.I made 1/3 the quantity, so i reduced the number of crackers and all other ingredients accordingly.

    Ritu, dip each biscuit in the coffee solution individually and place in a serving dish one at a time , till you have around seven biscuits at the base of the serving bowl.then put the cocoa mixture on that and again repeat by layering with biscuits.
