How to make Grandma’s Cookie and Chocolate Cake

We put the 240 grams of whole milk in a bowl and heat it in the microwave between 1 and 2 minutes, depending on the power.

Add the 400 grams of 55% chocolate and mix well.

Add the 75 grams of unsalted butter at room temperature and mix again.

Add the half teaspoon of salt and the teaspoon of cinnamon, and integrate it into the mixture. We booked.

Grease and line the mold in which we are going to assemble the cake.

We start by putting the first layer of chocolate since later, when turning the cake, this will be the upper part. To do this, we can use an ice cream spoon to always put the same amount. We will put two tablespoons in the base of the mold and smooth.

Dip the first 4 cookies, of the 22 that we are going to need, in the 150 grams of whole milk and place them in the mold on top of the chocolate layer.

We put another two tablespoons of chocolate on the cookies.

Smooth with a spatula being careful not to break the cookie layer. We repeat this operation until we have 4 layers of cookies and chocolate.

Finally, we put a layer of cookies to serve as the base of the cake, we put them in a vertical position to cover the base completely. We take it to the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, although it is better to let it rest until the next day. Unmold and serve at room temperature.
