How to cook scones using your AGA & Queen Elizabeth’s Favourite Chocolate Biscuit Cake!

It’s almost time to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

To continue our celebration, this week I’ll be showing you how to bake the most delicious, light and fluffy scones in the AGA. Plus we’re back with The Royal Chef Darren McGrady, for another of the Queen’s favourites - a decadently rich chocolate biscuit cake filled with an English staple - Digestive biscuits!

“This chocolate biscuit cake is Her Royal Majesty the Queen’s favourite afternoon tea cake by far,” chef Darren McGrady, The Royal Chef and former personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II, told TODAY Food. “This cake is probably the only one that is sent into the royal dining room again and again until it has all gone.”

“It is her favourite cake that she eats until it is all gone,” says McGrady. “If there is anything left when she has it at Buckingham Palace, it then goes to Windsor Castle so she can finish it there. I use to travel on the train from London to Windsor Castle with the biscuit cake in a tin on my knee. It was half-eaten.”
