The classic version of this biscuit cake is featured in Andrew Baker's Book 'Cake - A Slice of British life' (HarperCollins September 2023)
This is the Ginger & dark chocolate version of our hugely popular chocolate biscuit cake, or Purbeck Marble Cake as we call it due to all the marvellous stone along our stretch of Dorset coastline, perfect for sharing! Chococo co-founder Claire adapted an old family favourite tiffin recipe to create our range of chocolate biscuit cakes many years ago now & it has become a key part of the Chococo range. This ginger version also won a 2 Star Gold Great Taste Award back in 2008.
This makes a delicious alternative to a classic sponge cake as it is filled with ginger biscuits, chunks of stem ginger & raisins to give a spicy crunch to complement the 72% Ecuador origin dark chocolate. We cover each cake in more dark chocolate, and we now use vegan block instead of butter in the recipe, this biscuit cake is now 100% plant based and suitable for anyone following a vegan lifestyle. Please be aware though that we handle milk in our bakery, so there may be traces.
This "cake" is vegetarian and vegan-friendly and definitely contains nuts. It will last up to 8 weeks....as if!
Each cake is 26cm long by 8cm wide by 5cm tall. Weight: 750g
Chococo's COCOA powered Promise...
This is chocolate for change. Slave-free, palm oil-free, less sugar, directly traded, totally sustainable and utterly equitable, not only is our chocolate officially delicious, it’s choc full of soul too. We don’t believe anyone else can match our COCOA powered promise…
Colourful
We’re a kaleidoscope of flavour and colour. Truly fine chocolates and as the Evening Standard once put it, “each one is like a miniature piece of art”. In 2024, we asked customers to describe our boxes, bars, novelty shapes, brownies and hot chocolate… the most common words were “innovative”, “delicious”, “ethical”, and “fun”.
Original
We’ve been handcrafting in the UK since 2002 and will always do so. We believe we were one of the first, if not the first, UK artisan chocolatier to pioneer making truly fresh chocolates using locally sourced seasonal ingredients. We’re an independent brand and believe that has always helped us produce chocolate with soul.
Conscious
We’re proud to work with our direct trade partners to produce chocolate that adds value to the local economy, is slave-free, palm-oil free, high in cocoa, low in sugar, and completely sustainable. 100% of our packaging is plastic-free and either recyclable or compostable too, and we support sustainability projects across the world.
Open
We strive to make the world of chocolate more open, opening up knowledge on cocoa and sugar, opening up opportunities for our partners, and opening up flavours for our customers with new products at prices that we aim to keep as low as possible, which only change when our supply and labour costs change significantly.
Award-winning
We’ve won 128 national and international fine food awards so far, with 77 Great Taste Awards including in 2023 for our signature milk and dark chocolates. We only enter awards that are blind judged, to benchmark ourselves, learn from the feedback of judges, and use those learnings to constantly improve.
