Biscuit Cakes

Biscuit cake is a type of no bake tea cake, similar to American icebox cake, found in Irish, English, Danish, Arabic, Bulgarian and Jewish cuisine. It is made with digestive biscuits and is optionally prepared with a chocolate glaze. In Jewish cuisine this traditional style cake was prepared in a pyramid shape. It included vanilla pudding and sweetened dark chocolate frosting. It can be prepared as a sheet cake with cream, strawberries and Jell-O. The chocolate biscuit cake was reportedly a favourite tea cake of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William. Prince William requested that the cake be prepared as a groom's cake for his wedding.
