Meatless Monday: Arretjescake

Today I have a real treat for you: It is a typical Dutch recipe that is called Arretjescake. It is a no bake chocolate cake with biscuits on the inside. It is very filling and heavy on the calories, so only take a small portion of the cake and share it with friends. It tastes really good!

These are two slices for two persons

Arretjescake (serves 10-12)
- 125 gr butter
- 125 gr margarine
- 200 gr caster sugar
- 200 gr plain biscuits (Maria koekjes for the Dutchies)
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp Dutch processed cacao powder

Melt the butter and the margarine together in a covered bowl in the microwave for about a minute. Beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl. Mix in cacao and butter. Crumble the cookies (for example in a plastic bag with a rolling pin) and stir those in the batter. Grease a cake tin with a bit of butter or line up a baking sheet in the cake tin. Pour the batter in and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours but overnight is better.

MMMM is a weekly carnival dedicated to those interested in improving their personal health and the health of the planet by reducing meat consumption one day a week. Every Monday you have a chance to feature a link to something meatless. It doesn’t have to be a recipe {although that would be nice}, it can be a picture of a meatless meal you ate that week, an interesting article you read about meat consumption, a post on your blog about going meatless, perhaps a post on someone else’s blog you found helpful, anything Meatless Monday appropriate.
