How to prepare the cake?
1) First of all, crush the biscuits into chunks roughly and keep them aside. In a double boiler, melt chocolate, butter, cocoa powder and cream adding them to it one by one. Remove once all the chocolate is melted and add it to the biscuits. Mix them with a spatula and make sure that the biscuit chunks are all coated well with chocolate. In a spring base cake tin, place butter paper on it.
2) Now, put all the chocolate mixture over it and press it nicely so that it settles properly. You can also tap the cake tin on the kitchen table for further adjustment. Place the cake in the fridge and it should take 30 minutes to set.
3) Meanwhile, you can start preparation for garnishing. Melt more chocolate and add cream to it. Once the chocolate melts remove it from the boiler. Remove the cake tin from the fridge. Pour the chocolate icing on top and spread it nicely. Tap the cake tin on the kitchen counter again so that the icing gets settled between the cracks of the biscuits. You have to keep the cake back in the fridge for 2 hours.
4) Mix together whipping cream and sugar. Whip them till stiff and fill a piping bag with this cream. Remove the cake tin from the fridge and then, you need to release the spring base to take out the cake from the mould. Place it on a platter or a cake stand (whatever you have). For garnishing? use whipped cream, cherries, mint leaves and some chocolate shavings. Slice the cake and enjoy your weekend.
