Ingredients for Biscuit Cake

Biscuits broken - 250 g (approx 15-18)
Almonds chopped - ⅓ cup
Cashews chopped - ⅓ cup
Raisins - ⅓ cup
Cranberries -  ⅓ cup
Dark Chocolate chips - 1 ½ cup + ½ cup
Heavy cream - ⅓ cup + ¼ cup
Instant Coffee powder - 1 tsp
Butter - 2 tbsp

Steps to prepare Biscuit Cake

Step I

• In a microwave safe bowl, add 1 ½ cup of chocolate chips, butter and ⅓ cup of cream and microwave in 30 seconds increment for about a minute or until the chocolate chips begin to melt.
• Add instant coffee powder. Using a whisk or a spoon, blend it to a smooth consistency.
• Roast chopped almonds and cashews for about 5 minutes on medium-low flame or until aromatic.

Step II

• Line a cake mold with plastic wrap or wax paper. Add broken biscuits, raisins, cranberries, and roasted nuts and give it a light toss. Now pour melted chocolate mix over the biscuit-dry fruit mix and combine them till they are thoroughly coated.
• Apply moderate pressure with back of a spoon and pat the chocolate coated biscuit-dry fruit mix so that it fills the entire area of the cake mold and has a smooth surface. Place it in the freezer for about an hour to set.

Step III

• Remove from the freezer and unmold the frozen cake to a wire rack. If you have used a wax paper at the bottom of the mold, then run a knife through the edge of the cake to loosen it before unmolding.

Step IV

• In a microwave safe bowl add remaining chocolate chips and cream and microwave in 30 second intervals until the chocolate starts to melts. Now using a whisk or a spoon blend it to a smooth paste. Chocolate ganache is now ready.
• Pour the ganache over the cake, and using the back of a spoon spread the ganache so that it evenly coats the cake. Then, you can keep the cake in refrigerator for  about 10 - 15 minutes for the ganache to set.
• You can warm the cake for 10 seconds in the microwave just before you serve.
• Biscuit Cake is now ready. Serve and enjoy. Happy Valentine's day and have a great weekend.
