Today I am sharing a family recipe with you.
I don't believe in secret recipes.
All beautiful and tasty things should be shared and enjoyed together. That's why I'm sharing this recipe that my grandmother passed me; food lovers.
On birthdays, the oven always worked overtime. Apple pies, cherry pies, and apricot pies rolled out of the kitchen one by one, filling the air with delicious scents. And to give the oven a little rest, this non-bake cake was also made. We called it basement cake because it was always kept in our cold basement to stiffen out.
You'll be complete with one slice of this for the rest of the day.
It's very satiating, but oh, how delicious.
And on special occasions, it's allowed to turn a blind eye to calories for ones.
There is a little warning beforehand. Due to the raw eggs in this dish, it is unsuitable for children under five years old, pregnant women, and people with poor health.
Never in all these years has anyone ever gotten sick from eating this cake in our family.
But with all the dishes you prepare. It would help if you always observed hygiene and shelf life. And, of course, use common sense.
Now let's get to the good part. I'll walk you through this step by step.
Enjoy
I used a stand mixer to prepare this cake because I had free hands while mixing and could proceed to the next step. But, of course, you can also use a hand mixer. It just takes a little longer.

I hope you enjoy this delicious chocolate biscuit cake as much as I do. I, too, will pass on this tradition and this recipe to my children; hopefully, this will continue for a long time.
I will love it if you share your family dish or childhood memory in the comments. Every family or country will have a unique or memorable food they make at home on special days.
What is yours?
Have a fantastic day, and keep sharing recipes and memories.
Till next time, food lovers 🍽️❤️
