This is a no-bake easy-to-do biscuit cake. My kids love this cake.
Ingredients:
  • Marie biscuits - 200 gm
  • Butter - 100 gm
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp
  • Hershey syrup - 45 ml
  • Egg - 1
Method:
  • Grease a cake pan with melted butter. Take biscuits in a plastic cover and pound it with a rolling pin, break it into small pieces. Take the biscuit pieces in a large pan.


  • Heat a pan, add butter, sugar and half of Hershey syrup, continue stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves, this takes around 5 minutes.

after melting
  • Cream egg and other half of Hershey syrup with electric beater, add the butter mixture to the egg mixture and beat it for a minute until everything blends well and form a thick syrup.

egg mixture + butter mixture = Final syrup

  • Pour this syrup over the broken biscuits, mix it nicely so that the syrup coats all the pieces, pour this coated-biscuit in the greased cake pan. Use a spatula and press biscuits nicely so that it is tightly packed. 



  • Refrigerate the biscuit cake for 2 hours, cut and serve. 

Note:
If you don't have Hershey syrup, use cocoa powder of about 35 gm.
