Hedgehog Cake

This favourite recipe has been adapted to my mothers version and it is so much better than the ones that are available through the supermarket and bakers chains. Whenever it was one of our birthdays, it was always the first thing on the list of things for mum to make for our party. Even as an adult, I still love this recipe.

PREPARATION:
125 grams butter
125 grams brown sugar
250 grams broken biscuits (I use milk arrowroot)
1 egg
2 large tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Break the biscuits into little pieces in a large bowl. Add chopped nuts. Bring butter and sugar slowly to the boil in a small saucepan and cook gently for a few minutes. After adding the cocoa to this, stir in the beated egg and add to mixture in bowl with vanilla. Press into a shallow slice pan and let set in the refridgerator. Cut into small pieces to serve. For extra chocolate taste, you can spread a very fine chocolate icing over before setting in fridge.
Icing can be made from a tablespoon of butter, melted with a little milk and vanilla essence. Add to this some icing sugar and cocoa to make a smooth fine mixture.
