Chocolate Lazy cake (easiest ever)


Chocolate Lazy cake (easiest ever)

This refrigerated cake-like sweet is very famous back home in Jordan. It is not a real cake actually, no flour or egg is used, no baking is required, so it’s so easy that anyone can make, that’s why it’s called “Lazy Cake”. It can be prepared and kept in the freezer to take it out in any emergency unexpected visits, that your guests will be surprised how you made it that fast with that great chocolaty taste.

Ingredients

  • 36 marie biscuits, coarsely crushed
  • 125gm butter, melted
  • 6 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 100gm melted cooking chocolate (i added this in last time i made lazy cake, can do without)

Method

  1. Mix sweetened condensed milk, sugar, melted butter and cocoa until smooth. Add mixture to biscuits.
  2. Form mix into log or press into loaf pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Secure the log, and press to combine very well and wrap. Cover with more wrap and freeze for few hours or overnight.
  3. To serve, dip sharp knife in hot water and slice.

Notes & Tips

**You can use Digestive biscuts instead, but the traditional one which we're used since we were kids, is the one using Marie biscuits. ** New addition to the recipe: add 100gm melted cooking chocolate to the mixture.

    For how long it has to be freezed ?

    • Huda Abu Hamdia

      Hi Jessica.. freeze them for 3-4 hrs before serving, so it would hold together. and you can keep them up to 3-4 months or more! just then, take them out like 15 minutes or so before slicing so it would be easy to slice them so u can get clean slices! ;-) If you have any inquiries, please do send me over facebook in order to get notification at the spot! https://www.facebook.com/huda.abuhamdia?ref=tn_tnmn Thanks for pasing by and hope you enjoy this recipe when you make it. I know I do always! :-D

    Hello Huda! I found your page by accident and I'm extremely eager to try many of your recipes. They look DELICIOUS! Isn't there more heating involved in Lazy Cakes? My friend was telling me the other day that she heats butter and milk and chocolate and other stuff together. You just heat the butter separately?
