Heat milk, butter, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and sugar in a pot over medium heat. Stir and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat once boiling and let the mixture thicken slightly.
Turn off the heat, add brewed coffee and orange zest, then mix well.
Break tea biscuits into a large bowl without crushing them too much.
Pour the chocolate sauce over the biscuits and gently fold with a spatula until fully coated.
Line a cake pan or bowl with plastic wrap, transfer the mixture, and gently press to remove air bubbles and shape it.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Use good-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Refrigerating overnight allows the cake to set better and enhances the flavors.
Candied orange slices make a beautiful garnish but are optional.
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, but the flavor will be sweeter and less intense compared to dark chocolate.
What type of tea biscuits should I use?
Any plain tea biscuits work well, such as Digestive or Marie biscuits.
Is the brewed coffee necessary?
No, it's optional, but it enhances the chocolate flavor.
Can I freeze the cake instead of refrigerating?
Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the biscuits.
How long does the cake last in the fridge?
The cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
