“This chocolate biscuit cake is Her Royal Majesty the Queen’s favorite afternoon tea cake by far,” chef Darren McGrady, The Royal Chef and former personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II. “This cake is probably the only one that is sent into the royal dining room again and again until it has all gone.”
“It is her favorite cake that she eats until it is all gone,” says McCrady. “If there is anything left when she has it at Buckingham Palace, it then goes to Windsor Castle so she can finish it there. I use to travel on the train from London to Windsor Castle with the biscuit cake in a tin on my knee. It was half eaten.”
There’s another member of the royal family who is a fan of this cake too: “This chocolate biscuit cake was Prince William’s groom’s cake at his wedding. The reason he chose it is that he used to go to tea with the Queen and he got a taste for it. That is when he started liking it.”
The rich dark chocolate cake has a lovely crunchy texture thanks to the addition of classic English cookies called Rich tea biscuits. A layer of decadent chocolate frosting is the perfect finishing touch.
Даррен Макгрэйди, готовил для королевской семьи в течение 15 лет и был личным поваром королевы Елизаветы. Он рассказал о любимом лакомстве королевы - это шоколадный торт из простого печенья.
"Королева очень любит этот торт и всегда съедает его до последнего кусочка. Если, например, королева Елизавета не съела торт в Букингемском дворце и собирается поехать в Виндзорский замок, то остатки тортика едут за ней следом в коробке у меня на коленках!".
