How to make the recipe
Make chocolate syrup
Mix together sugar & cocoa in a pot.
Stir in the milk and make a smooth mixture free of lumps.
Add butter (optional) & boil this stirring often until you get a slightly thick syrup.
To test, dip a spoon and check. The syrup must coat the back of the spoon.
This will further thicken upon cooling. Set aside to cool down.
Prepare the pan
If you do not have a spring foam pan or pan with a removable base then line your pan with a butter paper or foil.
How to make biscuit cake
Break down the biscuits approximately to 1 by half inch pieces.
When the syrup cools down pour it in 2 batches and give a good stir.
Transfer the chocolate biscuits to the pan and press down with the base of a cup.
Smoothen the top with a spatula.
Cover it and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to set.
Melt chocolate
Add the chocolate and milk to a small bowl.
Microwave it for 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate melts and turns smooth.
Or Double boiler - Alternately place the bowl over a small pot of hot water. Stir and mix until smooth.
Frosting biscuit cake
Unmold the cake gently from the pan. Or lift the cake from the pan holding the butter paper or foil.
Spread the chocolate frosting over the biscuit cake with a spatula.
Smear some chocolate on the sides & smoothen.
Refrigerate until the chocolate frosting is set.
Slice the biscuit cake and serve plain or with Ice cream or tea.
