Lazy Cake

You know how sometimes you reach a place where you know the advanced steps of something but have forgotten all about the basic simple ones?

Yes well, this is very similar to my story with lazy cakes! I know how to make a complicated fondant rose cake but when it comes to a simple biscuit cake, it NEVER comes out the way I want it. I've tried MANNNNYY recipes and none work! Biscuit cakes are one of my favorite cakes (surprise! surprise!) so it is very important that I find an AWESOME recipe.

Well, a couple of weeks ago, I was having lunch with my family at Leila's in Verdun and I was looking at that amazing wall they have. It was full of old pictures, ornaments and books. I love the atmosphere there, very neo-classical! Anyway, I was looking and I found this book called: " أنا و ابي والشوكولا " which is Arabic for "Chocolate, my dad and I".

I quickly looked inside and sure enough it was a recipe book for everything chocolate!!! And sure enough they had a lazy cake recipe!!! =D I was thrilled! I went home and tried the recipe and it turned out.....

wait for it.....

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I want to share it with you:

Here's the English Translation:

Preparation time: 12 minutes

Freezing Time: 3 hours (I couldn't wait that long though :P I took it out after around 2!)

Amount: One Cake

Ingredients:

• 4 Biscuit packs (I used Ghandour, aren't those biscuits just amazing?!) - crumbled and crushed
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 250 ml of milk (one cup)
• 1/2 c. white sugar
• 200 g softened butter
• 125 g chocolate

What to do:

1. Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan on medium heat and then add the sugar, egg, milk and vanilla. Mix well!
2. Remove the mix from the heat and add the crumbled biscuits. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
3. Place the mix in pan of your choice. (I have an english cake pan that I wrapped in plastic wrap first. I then added the mix and closed the top with more plastic wrap.)
4. Place the pan in the freezer. (I thought the freezer was too strong for it, so I placed it in the refrigerator for the last 30 minutes.)

Note: You can cover it with a chocolate glaze, if desired!

FINALLY: taste the most delicious lazy cake you'll ever eat!!

Here's how mine turned out.

 I hope you give it try! And don't forget to tell me how it turned out =)
