My grandma always cooked this cake for me, and this is her own recipe. The name of this dessert – “chocolate salami” in Italian – comes from its shape, and it is a traditional Italian product. This cake is really easy to make and is perfect for the holiday season!
Number of servings: ten slices
Ingredients:
- 7 tablespoons of cocoa
- ⅔ cup of soft butter
- ⅞ cup of sugar
- 1 ½ cup of crunchy cookies (ex: digestive biscuit, gingerbread cookies…)

Instructions:

- Add the cocoa a little at a time while blending.
- Cut the cookies in little pieces and put them in the mixture.
