For anyone unfamiliar, chocolate concrete was a staple of British school dinners from the 1970s through to the early 2000s. It's a hard, crunchy chocolate traybake that almost always came served with vibrant pink custard, adding a sweet contrast to its dense texture. It's known for being so tough, you needed a strong spoon, or sheer willpower, to break through it. But fans of the pudding say that's all part of the charm. Now, thanks to Kate and her mum, who used to be a school dinner lady, you can recreate it at home with just four simple ingredients. And the best bit is it tastes exactly like the one you had in school. The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven Kate said: 'This was one of my favourites, it brings back all the memories. We had so many requests for this recipe, and I can see why!' To make it, you only need plain flour, sugar, cocoa powder and melted butter. The dry ingredients get mixed together until they resemble a crumbly mess. 'It looks like mud,' Kate joked, as they pressed the mixture into a tray. A sprinkle of water and sugar over the top gives it that signature crunch once baked. After half an hour in the oven, it comes out smelling amazing and rock solid, just like it should. 'It cuts best while it's still hot,' Kate said, showing off a perfect square of chocolate concrete. 'It's school in a bite.' Fans flooded the comments saying how much they loved the nostalgic bake, with one person writing: 'This is EXACTLY how I remember it!'. Another added: 'Please make pink custard next, I forgot how much I loved that combo.' A third said: "One follower commented: 'We used to race to be first in line for this at school. It's legendary.' Kate teased she might share the recipe for chocolate crunch next, which is a slightly softer school favourite made with eggs, but it's the concrete version that's got everyone talking. TikTok has become a hotspot for nostalgic food trends lately, with creators reviving everything from cornflake tart to spam fritters, but chocolate concrete continues to top the list as a childhood favourite. With the summer holidays in full swing, this is the perfect treat to whip up with the kids or just for a throwback afternoon tea. Just make sure you've got a strong spoon and maybe a side of pink custard, for old time's sake. Method 3 The chocolate concrete dessert is easy to make Credit: Alamy Here's how to make it. First preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Then grease a square baking tin (around 9–10 inches) with butter or line with baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well until everything is evenly combined – it should look like a dry, crumbly mixture. Then you will want to pour in the melted butter and mix again until it resembles a thick crumble texture. It won't look like a typical cake batter but that's exactly how it should be. Tip the mixture into the tin and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or your hands. Really compress it so it's packed in tight as this helps it harden into that classic "concrete" texture. Drizzle a small amount of cold water over the top, then sprinkle over a little extra sugar. This gives it that signature crisp topping. Then bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it smells rich and chocolatey and feels firm on top. As soon as it comes out, cut it into squares while still hot, it'll harden fast as it cools. You'll want to serve it warm if you like it soft in the middle or let it cool completely for that full crunchy, authentic school pudding texture.

DCI releases viral TikToker Kakan Maiyo after arrest over alleged anti-police remarks
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has released viral TikToker and logistics businessman Godfrey Mwasiaga, popularly known as Kakan Maiyo, after detaining him over a video that allegedly incited violence against police officers and their families. Kan Maiyo has been released without charges. The rogue regime has lost its direction entirely. TikTok star Kakan Maiyo walks free after DCI interrogation Maiyo's release comes just hours after his arrest triggered an online storm, with supporters calling the move a clampdown on digital dissent. His vocal critiques of government and law enforcement have earned him both praise and controversy on social media. Blogger Kakan Maiyo released on a a Kes 10, 000 cash bail. TIKTOKER ARRESTED FOR INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST POLICEGodfrey Mwasiaga Kakan Maiyo, the suspect behind a viral video inciting violence against police officers and their families, has been arrested. The video had been uploaded to his TikTok trailed the… Dramatic arrest sparks public aeaction Earlier this week, a video went viral showing three plainclothes officers cornering Maiyo at what appeared to be a corridor inside his office building in Nairobi's Kimathi House. His company, LetaPeleka Logistics, was operating there discreetly. He is free , Kakan Maiyo released on cash bail, finally free thank you God Thank you everybody who has made noise about @KanMaiyo_ #FreeKakanMaiyo The DCI later confirmed that Maiyo had been 'trailed and arrested' for allegedly inciting violence through a video clip that condemned enforced disappearances and warned police officers of divine retribution and public backlash. What triggered the arrest? In the now-infamous TikTok clip, Maiyo directed a scathing message at security officers accused of abducting government critics. He suggested that there would come a time when such officers might not return from missions alive, and warned that their families could soon suffer the same grief as the victims' loved ones. He also stated that no amount of arrests or killings would silence Kenyans, a statement authorities claimed could fuel public unrest. President Ruto's warnings loom large Maiyo's arrest came a day after President William Ruto issued an aggressive warning during a press conference in Nairobi. The president declared that anyone attacking police would be treated as a terrorist, and even instructed officers to shoot looters in the leg if caught vandalising property during protests. Although the DCI has now released Maiyo, the move has not cooled public debate. Supporters view the release as a small victory for free speech, while critics argue that the influencer crossed a dangerous line. It remains unclear whether Kakan Maiyo will face formal charges or if this release marks the end of the case. Meanwhile, he has not posted any new videos since the arrest, leaving fans and critics alike speculating on whether he will continue to speak out, or lay low.
