Former royal chef Darren McGrady revealed that \u201cthe crunchy chocolate treat was a staple at the Queen\u2019s afternoon teas”.<\/p>\n
He claimed that Queen Elizabeth would never leave the dessert uneaten, \u201cmeaning a chef would have to travel with the cake if the Queen ever left the Palace while the cake had not been finished”.<\/p>\n
McGrady continued: \u201cNow the chocolate biscuit cake is the only cake that goes back again and again and again every day until it\u2019s all gone. She would take a small slice every day until eventually there is only one tiny piece, but you have to send that up. She wanted to finish the whole of that cake.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is reported Prince William is also a fan of the cake and he and Princess Kate enjoyed it at their wedding in 2011. The delicious dessert, which was completed with 1,700 biscuits, was served as the groom’s cake at the royal wedding.<\/p>\n
Experts at Kitchen Mason shared a “stunning” chocolate biscuit cake recipe that is “insanely easy to make, cheap as chips and results in an exceptionally beautiful dessert”.<\/p>\n

Cube the butter and add it in. Heat in 10 second intervals in the microwave. Stir well each time. Once two thirds melted, stir until completely melted.<\/p>\n Stir the golden syrup into the chocolate mixture.
