Steps to Make the Chocolate Walnut Biscuit Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Base Mixture

1. 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa powder.
   2. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Avoid letting it boil.

1. Add the softened butter and continue stirring until it melts completely. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Biscuit Layers

1. 1. Break the vanilla biscuits into smaller pieces (not crumbs) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
   2. Crush the wafers into small chunks and mix them with the biscuits.

1. Add the finely chopped walnuts to the mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Step 3: Combine with the Cocoa Mixture

1. 1. Gradually pour the warm cocoa mixture over the biscuits, wafers, and walnuts.
   2. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring every piece is coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 4: Shape the Cake

1. 1. Line a rectangular cake pan or a springform pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the top of the cake.
   2. Transfer the mixture to the pan, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even layer.
   3. Cover the top with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until firm.

Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Glaze

1. Melt the Milka milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
2. Once melted, pour the chocolate glaze evenly over the chilled cake.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

1. 1. Decorate the cake with additional Milka milk chocolate pieces or shavings for an elegant finish.

1. Return the cake to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set the glaze.
2. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.
