No-bake fudge cake

Ingredients

Cake

• 100g butter
• 45ml (3 tbsp) golden syrup
• 200g sweet plain biscuits, lightly crushed
• 50g raisins
• 50g glacé cherries, quartered
• 150g dark chocolate, chopped
• 50g white chocolate, chopped
• Fudge icing
• 50g dark chocolate
• 30g butter
• 150g icing sugar, sifted

Method

Grease or spray a small loaf pan and line with baking paper.

Melt the butter and syrup in a saucepan and stir in the biscuit pieces, raisins and cherries. Add the dark chocolate and stir over a low heat until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate.

Press mixture firmly into the prepared tin and chill until set. Turn out onto a serving plate and remove the paper.

For the icing, melt the chocolate and butter with 30ml (2 tbsp) water over a low heat. Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the icing sugar, beating until cool and thick.

Spread all over the cake with a knife, swirling to give it texture. Leave to harden before cutting into thin slices.
