Ingredients for Parle G cake

You need the following items to prepare this Parle G Biscuit ka cake:

1. Milk: Feel free to use any milk you like. I use fat-free milk in this recipe.
2. Cocoa powder: use pure cocoa powder for the best results.
3. Condensed milk: The sweetened one is the best for the recipe as we can omit sugar later on.
4. Parle G biscuits: I use five packets of Parle G Original Gluco Biscuits, each pack weighing approximately 80.0 g.
5. White chocolate: To create a marble texture, I use white chocolate. It is an optional step. You can skip this; if you want a smooth cake surface.
6. Milk chocolate I use Dairy Milk chocolate. Feel free to use any chocolate of your choice.
7. Butter: Use any kind. I prefer the salted one as it balances out the sweetness of the recipe.
8. Almonds & Walnuts: Roughly chopped to have a texture and crunchiness you can feel in each bite.

1. Combine crumbled Parle G biscuits and roughly chopped almonds and walnuts in a mixing bowl and set aside.
   • Crumble Parle G biscuits roughly into small pieces using your hands. You can also crush it using a rolling pin or grinder.
   • Roughly chop almonds and walnuts. Keep it a bit chunky. 
2. To another vessel, add cocoa powder and milk. Mix well to combine. 
3. Pour condensed milk into it and mix well.
4. Keep on low heat for 3-5 minutes to dissolve the cocoa powder to make a chocolate sauce. (see images below 1-4)

5. Add this warm chocolate sauce to the biscuits and nuts mix.
6. Combine well to coat the biscuits and nuts using a spatula.
7. Pour the ready-to-eat chocolate cake batter into a greased or lined dish.
8. Spread uniformly and level off the top with the help of a spatula. (images 5-8)

To add a twist to the chocolate cake, give this chocolate a marble texture in the following manner;

9. Spread the melted chocolate evenly on the top of the chocolate cake. To melt the chocolate, microwave milk chocolate with butter for 1 minute or less and stir well.
10. Now, pour the melted white chocolate into the center of the cake. Melt white chocolate by microwaving it for a minute or less.
11. Next, using a skewer, make any pattern you like. I have made streaks, starting from the center to the end of the dish. Be gentle while making patterns.
12. Finish with nuts toppings on the sides of the cake. (images 9-12)

Serving Suggestions

Undoubtedly, it is a delicious chocolate nutty cake that can be served on its own, but you can try these serving variations;

• Serve it with Vanilla ice cream.
• Pour a drizzle of caramel sauce if extra sweetness doesn't bother you.

Storage

• Store this Parle cake in the fridge.
• The cake stays fresh for 3-4 days.

Tips

1. The best way is to make this dessert at night and keep it refrigerated overnight. In this way, the cake will get ample time to set.
2. Keep nuts a bit chunky to give a texture to the cake.
3. Slice it gently as the cake will crumble if you exert any pressure.
4. You can skip white chocolate if you do not want any marble look on the cake.
