Here's the easiest 'cake' ever. Great for kids! [Unfortunately, somehow, I forgot to take a photo of the final product ;)]
Ingredients:
- Biscuits (traditionally Rich Tea, but I recommend the Malted Milk ones; you cab use other you like);
- Strong coffee (perhaps decaf is better if there are children); make it as strong as you like it but not too weak.
- 'Cream' (traditionally it is butter cream (butter and sugar), but I prefer either double cream with some (icing) sugar or even some vanilla yoghurt; not everyone is that fond of the yoghurt, though).
Start with a layer of biscuits. Place them as close to each other as possible. Soak them with coffee (use a spoon to pour the coffee on the biscuits and spread it a bit; repeat as often as necessary). Cover with a layer of your chosen cream. Repeat until you run out of ingredients, pour from extra coffee in the end, and make sure the last layer is cream. You can also put cream around it (on the sides) or decorate it with some powder chocolate, for example. Leave for a bit until everything soaks better. Keep in the fridge.
