Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Grease and line a 7” loose bottom cake tin with baking paper.

  2. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan 350F/320F fan.

  3. Add the bourbon biscuits to the bowl of a food processor and blitz until completely broken down into fine crumbs.

  4. Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a mixing bowl, then add the milk, flour and sugar. Stir well to combine.

  5. Spoon the mixture into your prepared cake tin, smoothing into an even layer.

  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

  7. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before adding the topping.

  8. Make the topping. First, put the dark chocolate chips into a mixing bowl.

  9. Heat the cream in a saucepan over a medium heat until starting to bubble.

  10. Immediately pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes.

  11. Whisk the cream/chocolate mixture until it forms a smooth, shiny ganache.

Chef's Notes



We decided to decorate our Bourbon Biscuit Cake with a chocolate ganache, but you could also take the simplicity even further and just warm some Nutella in the microwave and pour it over the top! This does introduce a slight hazelnut flavour of course, so if you want to stick with the chocolatey Bourbon Biscuit flavour then we’d suggest the chocolate ganache topping.
