This "cake" has long traditions as a Christmas sweet in Norway. Everyone knows it by the name of "Delfiakake" - "Delfia" is a brand name for the hardened coconut fat. Wikipedia has descriptions in eight languages, and calls it "Hedgehog slice" in English. It seems like every language has its own names: I never heard any of the eight(!) Swedish names, the Danish, English or German names before.

We make it with unsweetened dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate, and we decorate it with jelly tops and sometimes walnuts, dried fruits and marzipan; some people put these things into the chocolate as well. We often add coffee as well. The amount of biscuits can change considerably. Some make it with 2-3 layers, three quarters of the volume is chocolate. Others make it with so much biscuit that the chocolate essentially serves as a glue between the layers. With unsweetened chocolate, a fair amount of biscuits and fruits it isn't that unhealthy (but don't overeat!).

Delfiakake was well established as a traditional Christmas cake in my childhood, in the 1960s. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made several decennies earlier.
