Two rich and priviliged kids, who are living far away are getting married.
Who gives a flying fig?
Tons of people apparently. There are big fancy viewing parties are scheduled all over Dubai, which i imagine will be attended not only by UK citizens.
Well, one useful bit of info (at least for me) came out of this - local newspaper, The National published recipe of Prince William's favourite dessert, Chocolate Fridge Cake.
It looks easy to make, delish to eat and i think it's a chocolaty staple in the UK - Jamie Oliver has the recipe, so does grocerey chain Waitrose, chef to the royals Carolyn Robb, etc.
Anyway, here's the version from http://www.bbc.co.uk/ with my own comments:
- 250g/8oz digestive buscuits (i think in America you can use Graham Crackers)
- 150g/5oz milk chocolate
- 150g/5oz dark chocolate
- 100g/3½oz unsalted butter
- 150g/5oz golden syrup (that's what brits use instead of good old Karo Syrup/corn syrup)
- 100g/3½oz chopped dried apricots
- 75g/2½oz raisins
- 60g/2oz pecans chopped (optional)
- Use cling film to line a 20cm (8in) shallow, square-shaped tin. Leave extra cling film hanging over the sides.
- Bash the biscuits into pieces using a rolling pin. (Put them in a plastic bag first so they don't go everywhere!)
- Melt chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the broken biscuits, apricots, raisins and pecans (optional).
- Spoon the mixture into the tin. Level the surface by pressing it down with a potato masher.
- Leave to cool, then put the chocolate mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set.
- Turn out the cake and peel off the cling film. Cut the cake into 12 squares and enjoy!
I'm making it with my kids on April the 29th. I think the Royal Wedding Fever is contageous - Long Live the Queen!
