THE QUEEN'S CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE
My recipe today for The Queen's Chocolate Biscuit Cake is a variation on one I have been making for years, without realising that it was Her Majesty the Queen's favourite cake. It was a favourite for birthday parties and the cake tin, with my daughter taking a small square to school in her lunch box sometimes. Apparently, Her Majesty is so fond of this recipe for The Queen's Chocolate Biscuit Cake, that she has it daily in the afternoon with a cuppa, and will enjoy a slice every day until it is all gone. I love this idea that The Queen is a bit of a chocoholic, and enjoys a simple no-bake cake above other more complex cakes.

Steps:
- 1. Butter and line a 15cm (6") loose bottom cake tin and set to one side. 2. Break the Rich Tea biscuits into small pieces, about 1 to 2 cm in size. Do not break them up too small, they should NOT be crumbs, but small pieces. 3. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 4. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, or in a pan set over boiling water. 5. Once the chocolate has melted, pour it over the butter and sugar mixture, and mix thoroughly. 6. Add the water the chocolate mixture, and the the broken biscuits, Mix them well, so all of the biscuits are covered and coated in the chocolate mixture. 7. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tin, and press down gently to create an even texture and surface. Place the cake into the fridge and allow it to chill for 30 minutes. 8. Meanwhile, make the chocolate ganache. Put the broken chocolate into a bowl. Pour the whipping cream into a pan and bring it to a simmer. 9. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and mix well, stirring all the time until the chocolate has melted and you have a glossy and shiny ganache. 10. Remove the cake from the fridge and turn it out, placing it in a wire rack with a tray underneath. 11. Spoon the ganache over the cake, making sure it is all coated, including the sides of the cake. Allow to set and cool, before placing it on a serving platter. 12. Serve cut into slices.

CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE
Prince William broke with royal tradition by having a groom's cake at his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011, requesting a classic British icebox cake (or fridge cake, as the Brits say). It's made out of McVitie's biscuits and lots of chocolate. The cake is also said to be a favorite of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, who likes eating a slice with her afternoon tea.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
- Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan; set aside. Toss the hazelnuts and cookies in a large bowl. Combine the butter, golden syrup and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the butter is melted (do not boil). Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, cocoa powder and vanilla until smooth, then whisk in the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cookie mixture and stir to coat. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down evenly until tightly packed. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Make the ganache: Put the chocolate in a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream and golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup dissolves and the mixture is just bubbling around the edges. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let sit at room temperature until thickened but still pourable, 30 minutes to 1 hour. (It should look like a soft pudding.)
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature, 45 minutes. Remove the springform ring and invert the cake onto a cake stand or serving plate; remove the bottom of the pan. Pour about one-third of the cooled ganache over the top of the cake and gently spread with a small offset spatula, allowing the excess to drip down the sides. Repeat with the remaining ganache in two more batches until the top and sides of the cake are covered. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips around the top edge of the cake.

Steps:
- Beat the butter and sugar together with an optional pinch of sea salt in a bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift over the flour and cocoa powder and beat into the butter mix, then fold through the chocolate chips. The mix can be made up to 2 days ahead and chilled or frozen for a month, or used straight away.
- To bake, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. If the mix is at room temperature, place evenly spaced spoonfuls on parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing 2 tbsp for each cookie. If the mix is fridge cold, you can roll it into 40g balls before baking. The balls can be frozen and the biscuits baked from frozen, but they'll need a few minutes more. Bake for 12-15 mins until spread out and crusty around the outside. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm, or leave to cool completely and eat cold. The biscuits will keep in a tin for three days.
- As an optional extra, the biscuits can be dipped in chocolate. To do this, melt your chosen type of chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave. Leave to cool a little, then dip half of each biscuit in the chocolate and leave them on parchment-lined trays somewhere cool to set. Again, the dipped biscuits will keep for up to three days in a tin or lidded plastic container.
