Prince William made a point of having his childhood favourite, chocolate crunch cake, as the alternative cake at his marriage to Kate Middleton.

Here's how to make your own.

 

You'll need:

100g butter

300g milk chocolate

400g condensed milk

Large packet of Digestives or Rich Tea biscuits

Handful of glace cherries

Handful of raisins

Variety of chopped nuts

 

What to do:

Crush the biscuits in a bag or large bowl.

Stir in the raisins, nuts and cherries.

Melt the condensed milk, butter and chocolate in a pan.

Mix everything together in the bowl.

Pour into a tin lined with greaseproof paper.

Put in the fridge until set, or freeze.

Break off a piece and enjoy. -
