Instructions
1
In a non-stick pan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chopped dark chocolate, instant coffee powder, and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

While the chocolate mixture is melting, grind the digestive biscuits in a food processor until they reach a fine powder consistency. Grease an aluminum cake tin with a little butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

After the chocolate mixture has melted, remove the pan from heat. Immediately fold in the ground digestive biscuits along with the chopped almonds, walnuts, and raisins. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
4
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly across the surface using a spatula. Refrigerate the cake for 1–1.5 hours, or until it is set and firm to the touch.

Once the cake is set, carefully remove it from the cake tin by running a knife around the edges. Cut the cake into wedges and arrange them on a serving plate. Serve immediately and enjoy the chocolaty goodness!
