Non-Bake Flourless Biscuit Cake


Made this yummy choco biscuit cake over the weekend.  To me, it can be referred to as a non-bake cake and also a biscuit as part of the ingredients is biscuits.  For some people, chocolate can be a delicious obession and this easy-to-make biscuit cake is just lovely to enjoy!










This can be served as a dessert, kept chilled or even as a snack ....... crunchy, nutty, not too sweet and full of yummy chocolate!

Ingredients
  • 6 oz bittersweet couverture
  • 6 oz butter/margarine
  • 6 oz digestive buscuits  -  broken up into pieces
  • 1.1/2  Tbsp golden syrup
  • 1.1/2  oz raisins
  • 1.1/2  oz dried apricot
  • 3 oz flaked almonds -  slightly roasted
Method
  1. Lightly grease an 8 inch round springform cake tin.  Keep aside.
  2. Lightly chop up the apricots and raisins into smaller pieces.  Keep aside.
  3. Break up the chocolate into a bowl and place over a pan of simmering water  OR use a double boiler.  Stir.
  4. Add in butter and syrup and keep stirring till the chocolate and butter have melted.  Remove from heat and let cool for a while.
  5. Mix the broken up pieces of biscuits, raisins, apricots and almond flakes in a mixing bowl.
  6. Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture and mix till well combined.
  7. Transfer the mixture into the lightly greased cake tin, press lightly and level the top.
  8. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
  9. Keep refrigerated.

    I would love to have a slice for my dessert now. It is nice to see a no-bake cake. This would be great for very warm days when turning on the oven is not a good idea.

    Hard to believe that this cake is non-baked! I'm a chocoholic and this amount of chocolate is perfect for me.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
