Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Pour the water into a pan and add the Hera baking margarine, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir over low heat until everything is combined.
Break up the cookies from 4 packages by hand, then crush them with a mallet or in a food processor.
Transfer the cocoa mixture to a bowl and gradually beat in the powdered milk, beating constantly.
Stir the crushed cookies into the cocoa mixture with a spoon. The mixture must be very thick.
Check the nuts and dried fruit for any shell fragments, then stir them into the mixture. Line a 30 cm cake pan with parchment paper, or use a ribbed loaf mold.
Place half the mixture in the pan and arrange cookies over it. Add the remaining mixture and another layer of cookies. Press everything down firmly with a wet hand or a mallet, then refrigerate for several hours.

Tip: Chop the dried fruit finely; large pieces can pull out when slicing and cause the cake to crumble.
