A layered biscuit cake is a no-bake dessert made by stacking biscuits with a creamy mixture (often chocolate, cocoa, or custard-based) so the layers soften and turn cake-like after chilling. It’s popular because it’s simple, eggless, and doesn’t require an oven.
Here’s a classic version you can make easily at home:
🍫 Layered Biscuit Cake (No-Bake)
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 packets plain biscuits (Marie or digestive biscuits work best)
- 2 cups milk
- 4–5 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2–3 tbsp cornflour (optional, for thickness)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate (optional, for topping)
👩🍳 Method
1. Make the chocolate mixture
- In a saucepan, mix milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and cornflour.
- Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously.
- When it thickens slightly like custard, turn off heat.
- Add butter and vanilla essence and mix well.
2. Prepare biscuit layers
- Take a tray or dish.
- Dip biscuits quickly in warm milk (don’t soak too long or they’ll break).
- Arrange a layer of biscuits at the bottom.
3. Assemble layers
- Spread a layer of chocolate mixture over biscuits.
- Repeat: biscuits → chocolate cream → biscuits → chocolate cream.
- Build 3–5 layers depending on your dish size.
4. Chill
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is best).
- This helps biscuits soften into a cake-like texture.
5. Finish
- Top with chocolate syrup, grated chocolate, or crushed biscuits.
- Slice and serve cold.
🍰 Tips for better results
- Don’t oversoak biscuits—just a quick dip.
- Digestive biscuits give a richer taste than plain Marie biscuits.
- For extra richness, add cream or condensed milk to the chocolate layer.
- You can also add crushed nuts or banana slices between layers.
