Ingredients:

• Biscuits (Tea Biscuits or Digestive Biscuits) – 400g
• Butter – 100g (unsalted, softened)
• Sugar – 150g (preferably powdered sugar for a smoother texture)
• Cocoa Powder – 2 tablespoons
• Milk – 1 cup
• Dark Chocolate – 100g (for a richer flavor, you can substitute with milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste)
• Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
• Chopped Nuts (optional) – 1/2 cup (walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
• Chopped Dried Fruits (optional) – 1/2 cup (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:
   • Begin by breaking the biscuits into small pieces. The size of the pieces can vary depending on your preference, but aim for bite-sized chunks that will create a pleasant texture in the cake.
   • Place the broken biscuits in a large mixing bowl.
2. Create the Chocolate Sauce:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar and cocoa powder, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
   • Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook the mixture on low heat until it thickens slightly, forming a rich chocolate sauce.
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. For an added layer of flavor, you can mix in a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruits at this stage.
3. Assemble the Cake:
   • Pour the warm chocolate sauce over the broken biscuits in the mixing bowl. Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold the biscuits and sauce together until all the pieces are evenly coated.
