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.
