This is my assignment with the Secret Recipe Club.The aim of the club is that you are allocated a blog from which you have to select a recipe and try it and blog about it.
I have been part of SRC for almost three years now and I really enjoying looking through my secret blog assignment and choosing a recipe to cook from. This month I am going to do the challenge twice as I am doing an extra one for group B to help out. The blog I am cooking from today is called Sid's Sea Palm Cooking. Looking through Sid's blog I noticed she is a member of the boat club and shares her creations with her friends. How lovely is that.
Being a vegetarian I always head over to the vegetarian friendly recipes and in Sids blog I found she had 34 recipes that were vegetarian. However my sweet tooth took the better of me and fell in love with the Aebleskivers -danish pancake balls and the Kiksekage Chocolate Biscuit cake . I tried both but the photos of the chocolate cake won the toss so I am sharing it here:
The cake was easy to make and really tasted delicious. The only changes I made were that I left out the alcohol since I don't drink.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! It's only morning but I could go for one of these right now! I love biscuit cakes!
ReplyDeleteOoo so simple yet scrummy. Looks delicious xx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so easy but I am sure it isn't! It looks yummy x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, but, ummm, I'm actually a woman, Sid is my nickname. And Kiksekage is one of my favourite cakes. I just don't dare make it often, as I would just eat it all.
ReplyDeleteOops so sorry I read your about me section but there was no photo and no indication of gender. I assumed Sid was a male name.
DeleteNot a problem, I just wanted to let you know. I'm going to clarify it in my about me section.
DeleteSid, I have changed the blog post to the correct gender, sorry about that.
DeleteI wanted to add, that Rich Tea biscuits are my preferred biscuit for this, when I can find them, on this side of the pond. And I also put a picture of me on there today, cause you're not the only one who called me a guy. LOL.
DeleteThat looks stunning, easy but impressive!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of biscuit cakes before. This looks delicious, I need to sample this!
ReplyDeleteSo simple and easy...and looks amazing! YUM! Great choice for the SRC.
ReplyDeletesounds very decadent!
ReplyDeleteHello Nayna,
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the Secret Recipe Club - what a great way to find delicious new recipes like this! Thanks for sharing. When I need to bake a cake, I'll head back over here.
I think I'd have to exercise four hours a day if I had a food blog :-)
In peace and passion,
Laurie
Oh that looks and sounds amazing
ReplyDeleteLike someone else said - it seems easy to make but looks so decadent. This recipe made it into my archives. It looks like it's a nice thing to put together if you're having company to make them feel special :)
ReplyDeletelooks very decadent!
ReplyDeleteEasy and nice recipe.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of them , must give them a go.
ReplyDeleteThis looks positively lovely!
ReplyDeleteyummy... biscuits and chocolate. I have had that combination, but the host used milk chocolate, but I think ganache is a much better option.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting recipe, I've tried chocolate shortbread before, great choice!
ReplyDeleteUm, cookies and ganache? Yes please! Great choice
ReplyDeleteThis looks good, I'd love some chocolate cake
ReplyDeleteIs there more to the recipe Nayna? There's no mention of the biscuits. are they just layered up with the ganache? Do you you spread it on or brush it? Looks good anyway.
ReplyDeleteJac Ingredients say I packet of biscuits. Read Steps 7 and 8 :.
Delete7. Place a layer of biscuits side by side on top of the chocolate ganache.Spread a layer of ganache on top of the biscuits.
8. Repeat the layers in this way until all the biscuits are used up and you finish with a biscuit layer.
Your Chocolate Biscuit Cake is so pretty and would be delicious! It's fun cooking with you in the SRC!
ReplyDeleteMiz Helen
This looks so yum and so easy to make! Would love love to have a piece!
ReplyDeleteBiscuit and cake combined in one food stuff?! Sounds like my dream food!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so chocolatey ad delicious. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds super lush. You can't go too wrong with chocolate ganache!
ReplyDeleteWhat I most like about chocolate-biscuit cake, beside how good it is, is that is one of the most easiest cakes to make
ReplyDeleteOh we were loving dipping the lotus biscuits into the lotus spread but I think this is one better! ..off to buy cream....
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple and incredibly beautiful cake! I want to try this out! Thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteDelicious, I love all things chocolate!!!
ReplyDeleteI love love cake
ReplyDeletewow! this looks so good! And easy to make too! I love it... I wonder if I could make it with any other biscuit because tragically we don't get Biscoff cookies here :( or I could just make those from scratch right? :) Awesome SRC pick! Happy to be in Group B with you!
ReplyDeleteYou can use any biscuit such as rich tea, morning coffee, ginger biscuit , malted milk. There is no strict rule. Ideally if biscuits are rectangular or square its easier to layer them in square or rectangular tin and you dont have to do a jigsaw of trying to fit round biscuits in square tin.
DeleteThis looks heavenly!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYum, this looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fabulous challenge and my tummy is rumbling at the sight of the cake
ReplyDeleteYum yum these look fabulous. Getting the ingredients tomorrow
ReplyDeleteThese look divine
