The Grandma's cake is a traditional dessert that evokes childhood memories and homemade flavors. This recipe, also known as cookie and custard cake, combines layers of Maria cookies soaked in milk infused with cinnamon, orange peel, and lemon, with a smooth homemade custard. Its origins date back to Spanish kitchens, where simple ingredients were used to create a sweet that is now a classic for snacks and celebrations.
The texture is incredibly creamy thanks to the custard, balanced by the firmness of the cookies, and topped with a layer of dark chocolate that gives an irresistible touch. It is ideal for those looking for an easy dessert, without the need for an oven, and that pleases both young and old alike.
There are variations that replace chocolate with caramel or coffee, but this chocolate version is the most popular. Perfect for sharing with family or surprising your guests with an authentic and comforting flavor.

Dissolve the preparation in a glass with milk and the rest in the pot on the fire to heat with the sugar when it starts to boil, remove from the heat and add the glass of the preparation and stir.
Return to low heat and stir continuously until it starts to thicken. Place a mold, put a first layer of cookies soaked first in milk. I had it, infused, with cinnamon, orange peel, lemon... Pour in the custard and place another layer of cookies.
Again custard and another time of cookies, like that until the last layer of cookies is added. Let it cool for at least 1 hour. In a saucepan, put the cream to heat when it starts to boil, remove it from the heat and add the chocolate, stir until it is melted and pour the last layer of the cookies on top. Let it cool until everything is set for 30 minutes. If you do it from one day to the next better... and let's have our cookie cake, yummy. Bon Appetit! Bon profit!!
