Grease a cake tin (with a removable bottom) with margarine or butter, cover the bottom of tin with the crushed biscuits make it as even as possible. Add the cake mixture.
Pre-heat the oven (electric) to about 180/190, cook for 45 mins, though check it at 30mins - different ovens cook at different speeds - test to see if its done with a knife, nothing on the blade its done. Turn off the oven and leave in the oven for another 15 mins
Remove from the oven. Take cake out of tin (remember its got a removable bottom). Place somewhere cool to cool down. The cake will sink in the middle, its meant to happen. Once cool, place in the fridge overnight.
Serve it on its own or with whatever you like.
