What was the weight of everything?

Yuck

I KNOW A CERTAIN DINNERLADY THAT DID THIS BETTER...

Brussel sprouts they could never make me like you 😔

Can i substitute sprouts for grinch nuts

Thanks for sharing i loved this at school!!!!! I was indeed in the Birmingham area growing up

I made this yesterday, taste great but not quite like a concrete cake. I found the vanilla extract unusual almost as if it didnt belong...the search goes on

Brummy here too, tried a few recipes and non were like the old school favourite, fingers crossed this is the 1. I will be back to update 👍🏻 **update** didn’t go rock hard like the old favourite

This is chocolate concrete cake but a lot of them do not use vanilla extract I was told that it was made by somebody or invented by somebody that was from Birmingham but I cannot remember her name this is a nice interpretation of the cake

I have a similar recipe but decided to try this because of the positive comments. However this is not chocolate concrete. Firstly you should use plain flour and not self raising. Secondly you don’t need the egg. This recipe is a cake like brownie. The clue is in the name ‘concrete’ should be hard.

I used to eat this at primary school 🥲

Is it suppose to be self raising flour. I always thought it’s plain flour

Gross

Gee does this bring back memories for me, We had this for school dinners as desert in 1958 at St Johns Primary School in Cove Hampshire, I have lived in Australia since 1962 and for me today in 2024 I started to think it never existed. Certainly, will be having a go at making it. It was a real favorite very rarely could you get seconds and the pink custard (strawberry flavoured?) made it taste like a cherry ripe bar.

If I see that in Morrisons I'm snatching it

Making this tonight. Bostin!

Noooo eggs in dough it’s not ravioli 🙈 and no yellow cheese come on

Oh my days..... Thank you so much for uploading the video and sharing the recipe my children are literally dancing around the house it came out perfect....❤❤❤

I'm making this now!!!! I'll let you know how it comes out 😅😅😅

I normally don't write comments but I thought have to for this amazing concrete chocolate.. I've made so many other concrete cookies etc but I have to say.. This tops them all. It was so amazing that my boys loved it specially with custard. That extra kick with the extra melted butter definitely did the job... Thank you to your grandmother ❤. Recipe definitely a keeper 👌

Blasphemy

This recipe looks good and I hope to make it soon! Thank you so much for sharing!

Can’t stop making it now. It’s so good perfect recipe

Oh yes. Right, off to the kitchen. Immediately.

Can you please do a recipe for chocolate splodge aka chocolate toothpaste tart? 😊 been looking for a good recipe, all the ones online don’t have the right gooey consistency

We knew it as Chocolate Crunch,70s,Gloucestershire. Loved it!

You under whisked it. Which is why still got fat separation.

🔥🔥🔥

Looks DELICIOUS

Is that curd or any kind of cream???

Looks so good, what do you usually have it with

Dont add eggs lol

Yummers

U get chocolate crunch in wales

Looks delicious..thank you for sharing 🙌🏼🫶🏼

Can I get the exact measurements of the ingredients please? So scrumptious...

Milk instead of water

I made think but I feel like it’s like a crunchy sponge . Prefer the eggless plain flour ones that reminisce school ones as they’re like shortbread However only issue is when they cook they’re inedible as in way too hard and the recipe here with Sf flour and egg means you can enjoy all day as it doesn’t get too hard

Song?

The amount of people I sent your link today after them looking at my whats up status

Bit late here but I’ve just given this a go because it looks the most like what we had in school! Mine was very sticky and not crumbly like yours before baking, not sure how it’s turned out yet as it’s still in the oven but I’m wondering if you have any advice for the dough if it is too sticky? Looks awesome by the way.

Tysm I just made this and its so good

We had this in East Sussex too. We had it with chocolate custard. 😋😋😋

Gammon already salty !

Cheers thanks

Hey just curious as to which part of the recipe did u adapt? Did u change any of the measurements from the original recipe u had?

More like sheeshshuka

Thank you so very much for this recipe. It's spot on! Tried other recipes that didn't quite work out for me. I was fed up of trying. Thought I give this one a go... Just made it and it turned out exactly like the one in school 😋 Could you possibly do the vegetable samosas we had at school? Anyone else remember them?? Btw, just subscribed. Will try out your other recipes too x

I haven't had this since school it was so nice. I'm going to make this thanks for sharing the recipe :)

In Stoke, we had it with mint green custard ❤
