Christina's Notes
Add Frosting: Make your favorite frosting, a chocolate ganache or use a canned frosting. You can always do a crumb coat to make sure cake is beautiful at the end.
Short Cut: Use delicious chocolate candies in this cake.
Variation: Indeed make a chocolate sauce, or melted chocolate to drizzle on top.
Alternate Ingredient: Mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, milk chocolate or dark chocolate to make a chocolate biscuit cake.
Sprinkles: Sprinkles add fun and can add to any different occasions.
Alternate Lazy Cake: There's an alternate cooking method for a hot summer day; It's no-bake. In a saucepan whisk melted butter, sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Add crushed cookies or biscuits and refrigerate in a loaf pan.
Baking Pan: If making the no-bake version of this perfect dessert, which is popular throughout the middle east, feel free to make in a loaf pan, 8x8 dish or rolled into a cylinder shape to be sliced.
