Chocolate bourbon biscuit cake?

[likelucklove]

For Father's Day, I want to make DP a cake because tbh, it saves a lot of money on buying presents he doesn't want. I haven't baked in a long time since I would have been too tempted to eat the batter when I was pregnant

Has anyone ever made a chocolate biscuit bourbon cake? Or could I just do chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream with bourbon biscuits crumbled on top? Any recipes for any cakes would be much appreciated!

One of the breakfast TV, TV Chefs did a thing a while back where they were making giant versions of branded sweets/biscuits - bourbon biscuits was one of them, sorry can't remember which Chef, but googling should find you something

Are you thinking of Pimp That Snack?

Personally, if you don't do much baking, I would just do a standard chocolate sponge, and maybe put bourbons on top! (perhaps split in half?).

No, thats not it, I think it may have been a Saturday morning one, but not sure

I just googled & found this article with a picture HERE

Looking at that, its just a basic chocolate cake made in longer tins & filled with butter cream - I have a pyrex dish this sort of shape, which I've used to bake cakes in before & it was fine

If your not much of a baker, use chocolate spread or Nutella as your filling - makes sure your cake is COLD first though

& make the bottom of your cake as it comes out of your cake tin - the top of your finished cake - slice off any risen up uneven "top" with a bread knife before removing from tin if you can - gives you a line to follow

do you have, or can you borrow letter shapes - if so just push these into what will be the top of your finished cake to write Bourbon - do this BEFORE assembling the cake though, or you'll just squash out all the cream

good luck

Sorry for the late reply but thanks for your tips!

I'm going to try both and see what happens. I did make marble chocolate cake and that came out good so good that it's all gone so I must have kept my baking info somewhere!

Loving the Nutella idea rockin and DP eats it by the jar load so think I'll do that! Will let you know how I get on and if I don't reply I burned down the house
