Ooh I do like the addition of kirsch! But it might have been frowned upon at school. As you've discovered, any dried fruit works.

Hehe yes, I don't think that would have been part of an Enid Blyton storyline 😂

I hadn’t heard of a chocolate biscuit cake but this looks delicious! Perfect for the summer when it’s too hot to turn on the stove.

It’s perhaps quite a British thing. No bake biscuit cakes are popular here!

That cake sounds sooooo good and I'm going to try it. Excuse my ignorance, but what are "digestive biscuits?"

Your equivalent in the US would be graham crackers or plain vanilla biscuits - the type of biscuits you’d use as the base of a no-bake cheesecake.

This looks delicious, I will be giving it a go for our next family birthday, in July. Thank you Jane and Miranda for sharing the recipe. Although my experience wasn’t quite so faithful to Enid Blyton, I also loved the time I spent at boarding school.

Happy Birthday Donna and Jane- I might attempt that cake if I can figure out all the ingredients for over here across the pond - I am assuming evaporated milk ?? Will be fun to figure it all out looks wonderful. Hope your birthday days and month of June are wonderful for each of you!! 🌸🥳🎈

No it’s just ordinary full fat milk (as in, not skimmed milk!).
