does anyone know the recipe for chocolate goo cake?

[jimblejambles]

Ds1 came home with chocolate goo cake and it was fab but the mum who made it won't give out the recipe.
I think it may have been a tray bake and had huge bits of digestive biscuits.
If you know the recipe and will share I would be grateful.

Hi there. Not sure if this is the same as yours, but my mum makes this lovely stuff with big lumps of digestives in. She melts condensed milk and (good) chocolate together in a pan, stirs in broken-up digestives, presses it into a shallow tin, then leaves it in the fridge to set. You can also add raisins / marshmallows if you like. Very moreish!

Can't lay my hand on the recipe at the moment but I think she uses a small tin of condensed milk, a big bar of chocolate and about 200g of biscuits. If my baby-brain allows me to find the recipe later I'll try and send you more accurate quantities!

Could it be Nigellas Rocky Road bites?

Melt chocolate in pan with butter and syrup, add marshmallows, add rich tea biscuits which have been bashed up but not to smithereenes, mix then put in traybake tin and chill in fridge.

It sounds about like nigellas but didn't have marshmallows in.
Thank you for your ideas

also known as chocolate fridge cake, it has many variants:
AK
Waitrose
Jamie

MrsB:
300g broken biscuit bits (from bottom of tin etc)
125g marg
25g sugar
75g drinking choc or 35g cocoa
2-3 tbsp golden syrup
cherries / nuts / seeds etc ad lib
250g cooking choc

Crush biscuits into crumbs (put in freezer bag and hit with rolling pin).
Melt marge, sugar, drinking choc & syrup in pan then stir in crumbs and nuts etc.
Press into greased 8x12" tin and chill.
Once set, melt the cooking choc and smear over the top. Chill again.

oh MrsB - I had forgotten about chocolate fridge cake. If the chocolate goo cake did not have marshmallows in then it is bound to be chcoolate fridge cake.

I find it odd that people don't give out recipes.

I wouldn;t share with other mums with whom I may end up in competition (iyswim) ie other class mums whose baking will be on the same stall at the fair

my mum kept that chocolate fridge cake recipe close to her chest for years so people would beg her to make it for church fetes.

People are always asking me for my recipes. I have no issues in passing them on as most of them are from here
My children aren't at school yet so who knows, maybe I wouldn't so readily give out suzy's brownie recipe or Mars' drizzle cake?

Thank you all very much. I am going to make the fridge cake tomorrow as that sounds like it.
Although there is a rumour she won't give the recipe out cos she bought it from a cake shop in town.
