- Grease a loaf tin with ½ teaspoon of melted butter.
- Place the cocoa, drinking chocolate and softened butter in a large mixing bowl and using a fork, blend the mixture together until it becomes a thick paste; add the chopped almonds and stir well.
- In a small saucepan add the water and sugar and cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour the syrup over the butter mixture and stir until they are well incorporated.
- Fold in the eggs and, last, fold in the broken biscuits.
- Stir gently until the chocolate mixture coats the biscuits well.

- To take cake out of the tin just simply dip the bottom into boiling water and turn cake upside down over a serving dish.
- Sprinkle the top with the chopped almonds and serve.
