Half a dozen digestive biscuits were waiting for any takers at my snack section, a little chunk of butter and a bar of milk chocolate were nearing it's Best Before End date.Half a bottle of last year's preserved strawberry jam was sitting idle in the fridge . I've also had a bowl of fresh homegrown strawberries left after trying out some strawberry recipes. Though my initial plan was to make Strawberry cheesecake , i ended up making this to avoid any wastage of food. When i made this innovative leftover cake and offered it to my hubby as a tea-time snack he asked me where did u buy it?
Ingredients:
Digestive biscuits -6
Strawberry jam - 1/2 bottle
Butter - a chunk (Approximately 50 gms)
Milk chocolate - 1 bar
Fresh strawberries - a bowl (approximately 1 punnet)
Step 1:
Crush the digestives in a blender and add butter . Microwave it for a minute to melt the butter and mix thoroughly
Step 2:
Create the crushed biscuits and butter base in a cake tin or a springform pan
Step 3:
Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 1 and a half minute
Step 4:
Pour the melted chocolate over the first layer . I had to scatter it as the chocolate was not sufficient to form a layer of chocolate
Step 5 :
Spread the strawberry jam on top . After spreading the jam it covered just half the cake and i decided to make only half the cake and formed another layer by folding the base layer of the cake.Luckily i decided before it sets.
Step 6 :
Wash ,hull and slice the strawberries in half and form this fresh fruit layer of the cake with the sliced strawberries
It was too embarrasing to click this half cake ..........
Step 7:
Set in the fridge for 2 hours by covering the lid
The final click speaks for itself, the results were outstanding !
As i made this cake with homegrown strawberries and other leftovers and saving a lot of money in terms of energy usage by not baking.
