Source: The Bossy Kitchen It might be because we’ve worked with Buckingham Palace recently on designing on Platinum Jubilee collection, but we’ve got the inside track on Her Majesty’s favourite cake - the Chocolate Biscuit Cake. It was also the cake Prince William and Catherine had at their wedding in 2011, so it really must be a family favourite! We’ve pulled together the recipe for you, so you too can eat like a Queen. Why not make it for your Jubilee street party? Method: Step 1 - Lightly grease a cake tin with butter and place on a baking tray. We used a rectangular one to make it a ‘tray bake’
Step 2 - Break each of the biscuits into small pieces, around 2-3cm, and set aside

Step 3 - In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar until the mixture starts to lighten
Step 4 - Melt the 4oz of dark chocolate and add to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring constantly
Step 5 - Add the egg, and beat to combine
Step 6 - Fold in the biscuit pieces until they are all coated with the chocolate mixture
Step 7 - Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake ring, making sure you fill all the gaps in the bottom
Step 8 - Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 3 hours Step 9 - Remove the cake from the fridge, and allow it to stand
Step 10 - Meanwhile, melt the 8oz of dark chocolate in a bain marie
Step 11 - Ease a knife around the edge of the cake to release it from the tin, and turn it upside down onto a cake wire
Step 12 - Pour the melted chocolate over the cake and smooth over using a flat knife or spatula
Step 13 - Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature
Step 14 - Carefully remove the cake from the cake wire once the chocolate has set (you made need to use a knife to separate where it has stuck) and transfer to a plate

Step 15 - Melt the remaining 1oz of chocolate for a final decoration
