Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe

Have just copied Naz's cheesecake recipe from her blog. He he... thanks, Mz Sunshine! Terasa lak nak share my Evil Fudge Cake recipe with you all. Tekadmons tak sempat rasa lagi, insya-Allah one day I'll make it for you guys.

What's so special about this cake?
Firstly, It's very easy to make pasal No Need To Bake. So I can make it in half an hour if I'm running short of time.
Second, it looks and tastes amazingly good.
In short, easy way to impress bakal mak mentua.. :-p He he he...



Ze Cake:
1 tsp Orange essence + 1 1/2 tbsp water
60 g Raisins
90 g Butter
2 tbsp Golden Syrup
185 g Plain chocolate
250g Digestive biscuits, crushed
60 g Glaze cherries, halved
60 g Nibbed almonds
(Optional: Rind of 1 orange)

Topping :
60 g Plain Chocolate
30 g Butter

1. Soak raisins + essence overnight
(or about 3 hours until raisins are soft and plump)
2. Crumble biscuits in a large bowl.
3. Add in cherries, almonds and raisins and mix.
4. Line triangular/loaf tin with plastic food wrap
5. In a saucepan, gently heat butter, golden syrup & chocolate until the chocolate has melted. Remove from heat and pour into biscuit mix.
6. Mix thoroughly. If too dry, just pour some milk until the mixture is wet, but not too soggy.
7. Spoon into prepared tin, wrap with plastic and compress a little.
8. Chill until firm. Turn the cake out onto a serving board and remove plastic wrap.
9. Prepare topping. Melt chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth, spread on top and sides of cake. Decorate as desired and chill until topping has set. To serve, cut into thin slices.

Notes:
i- I sometimes omit the golden syrup so it won't get too sweet.
ii- When melting the choc, NEVER LET IT BOIL. If mix gets too hot, simply lift if off the stove and stir "offline". Otherwise don't blame me for the burnt chocolate taste...
iii- Kalau malas sangat, don't bother with topping. It still tastes just as good.

Happy trying and bon apetit!
