Notes

This cake stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and the flavors improve over time. Use slightly stale biscuits for the best texture. Feel free to try variations like adding fruit, using different chocolates, or experimenting with flavors like coffee or citrus. For a refreshing twist, serve with fresh berries on the side.
