when I was little we called it saucepan cake. because it all got melted and mixed up in a saucepan :) and we had half a glace cherry on top.

@Steven – I’m not a fan of marshmallows, but even so I can’t help but think that adding them to the mix does sound rather tasty. I’d love to see some photos of the finished product.

@Teresa – I’m glad to be of help! I hope it’s as good as he remembers it (it was for me – it’s still delicious).

Thank you for posting this recipe and including detailed directions. My husband will be thrilled. He keeps going on about this mysterious thing called Fridge Cake that his mum used to make. He wanted me to make it but all the directions he could giver were, “It’s Fridge Cake. You know, with biscuits and chocolate?” I can’t wait to make it! Thanks!

I make this cake sometimes and have found adding marshmallows instead of raisins makes for a very nice change :)

Need to be a little bit careful with temperature though, too hot and the marshamallows melt too much, too cold and it just isn't quite right.

Thanks Cristiano - you really should.

As it happens, I noticed the comments issues on Safari a couple of days ago myself, I just hadn't sorted them yet. I now have (view the commit on GitHub), and all is right with the world again :) Thanks for pointing it out.

Nothing wrong with some odd-one-out presentations! I loved it and I think I might make some myself.

On a different note, your comment looks like this in safari, not sure if the red line is supposed to go through your name:

Yeah, I didn’t think you’d want to know about that :D

As for bringing the cake – it was nothing. It was certainly easier than preparing an actual presentation! (I still feel bad about not doing a “real” presentation – there’s always next time though). It was great finally meeting you, and I look forward to the next time.

Ooof! Didn't really want to find it about the calorific content ;)

Thank you so much for bringing the cake to SMC, it was absolutely and utterly nom! And lovely to meet you yesterday too.
