Bourbon Biscuits are a sandwich biscuit made of two dark chocolate rectangular biscuits with a chocolate buttercream in-between. They’re really moreish, and make a great accompaniment to a cup of tea! In fact, they’re one of the top three biscuits consumed in the UK! While the cakes cool get started on the chocolate cream. Whip the heavy cream and icing sugar until you get medium peaks. Then add mascarpone, vanilla extract, cocoa powder and fold gently with a spatula. The company is still based in Rode Village, Bath, but has moved to bigger premises with a fully functioning team and some serious equipment. Kerr makes the chocolate moulds in ‘his shed’ while Flo runs the business, they design the chocolates together. Not just regular cake: Tom says: “You can make alternatives such as ice-cream cakes or vegan cheesecakes too.” I love Tom’s idea of an ice-cream cake. I’d like to impress you with a fancy sponge recipe but to be completely honest I just did the old four ounces of everything one – four ounces each of sugar and butter, creamed, then a couple of eggs, then four ounces of a mix of self raising flour and cocoa. (It was about three ounces of flour and an ounce of cocoa.) I added a teaspoon of baking powder, gave it a final whisk, into the bourbon cake mould, job done.

Use a frosting bag with a nozzle to apply the cream to the cake. Add chocolate cream on top of the first cake layer and smooth it out. Place the second layer on top of the cake then spread the top cake with a thin layer of cream. Alternate between chocolate cream swirls and bourbon biscuits around the rim of the cake. Then pour bourbon biscuit crumbles into the center of the cake. Decoration: Feel free to get creative when decorating this chocolate bourbon biscuit cake. You can use chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream, chocolate cream or serve it plain. Use a frosting bag with a nozzle to apply the cream to the cake. Add chocolate cream on top of the first cake layer and smooth it out. Then, place the second layer on top of the cake and spread the top cake with a thin layer of cream.Cheat and eat: Tom says: “The great thing about the moulds is they are an easy way to get perfect results every time.” The flavour of these biscuits are much more chocolatey than shop-bought bourbon biscuits. But, if we’re being honest with ourselves, as much as we love the bourbon biscuits, they could stand to be a lot more chocolatey. They have loads of other silicon cake moulds – giant custard cream, giant oreo, giant jammie dodger… the silicon cake mould really is your oyster. (I’ve made my own homemade jammie dodger’s before too if you haven’t seen them already.) GET your fill at Co-op, with a bag of battered onion rings, Goodfellas garlic bread, McCain potato wedges, Brew City Cheesy Brew bites and a tub of Cadbury Dairy Milk ice cream, all for a fiver when bought together.
