Directions: |
Directions:1. Melt chocolate in microwave in microwave safe bowl for about 2 minutes. I recommend stirring between minute 1 and 2--do not overcook in microwave as chocolate burns easily.
2. Melt butter in another bowl and whisk into melted chocolate (about 1 minute).
3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs and sugar until mixed well.
4. Once cooled a bit, add melted butter and chocolate to egg mixture.
5. Add orange zest, and nuts to the chocolate mixture.
6. Gradually fold in the crushed biscuits (or graham crackers), until biscuits are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.
7. In a round cake pan lined with plastic wrap, spread the chocolate mixture and smooth out evenly.
8. Cover entire pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four to five hours, but best if overnight. You can speed cool by putting in the freezer for the first hour.
9. Cut into slices. Works great as bite sized cubes too. |

Notes: This is actually a recipe from the United Kingdom and just happens to be Prince William's favorite cake--so much so that he had it served as his groom's cake at the Royal Wedding. I heard so much fuss about it, I had to try it myself. IT'S AWESOME! Side note: by "biscuits' the Brits mean "cookies". I used graham crackers and it worked out really well.
