Preparation:

  1. Gather all the required ingredients.
  2. Line a cake pan or a loaf pan with parchment paper, butter paper, or aluminum foil. Choose a medium-sized pan for this purpose.

Making the Coffee Solution:

  1. Warm water in a small saucepan until it reaches a warm or slightly hot temperature.
  2. Transfer the warm water to a bowl and add instant coffee. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Preparing the Chocolate Sauce:

  1. In the same saucepan, pour milk and add cocoa powder. Stir well to dissolve any lumps.
  2. Add sugar to the milk-cocoa mixture.
  3. Place the saucepan on low heat and stir with a whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Allow the cocoa mixture to come to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes over low to medium-low heat. Stir occasionally.
  5. Once simmered, remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts completely, achieving a smooth and glossy consistency.
  6. Optionally, incorporate chopped nuts or dry fruits into the mixture.

Assembling the Biscuit Cake:

  1. Dip each glucose biscuit into the prepared coffee solution briefly. Ensure the biscuits are coated with the coffee syrup without allowing them to soak for too long to prevent breakage.
  2. Arrange the coffee-dipped biscuits in a single layer at the bottom of the lined pan.
  3. Pour half of the prepared chocolate sauce evenly over the layer of biscuits.
  4. Repeat the process, creating additional layers of coffee-dipped biscuits followed by chocolate sauce until you reach the desired height or fill the pan.
  5. Finish by pouring the remaining chocolate sauce over the top layer, spreading it evenly.
  6. Seal the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours, or overnight, to allow the biscuit cake to set.
