1. What is a chocolate cream cake anyway?
Chocolate cream cake is a decadent dessert made of rich layers of chocolate cake and creamy chocolate filling. The cake is usually made with basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs and butter. The chocolate filling is made with cream, chocolate and sometimes a little butter or other flavourings such as vanilla extract.
2. Tips for making chocolate cake
Chocolate cake with chocolate cream will be a success if the following tips are followed:
Use good quality chocolate. The taste of the cake and the chocolate cream will depend largely on the quality of the chocolate used.
Bring the ingredients to room temperature. It is important that the eggs, butter and sweet cream are brought to room temperature. This will help the ingredients to blend together more easily and create a smoother and creamier texture.
Do not over-mix the dough. Stir just enough to mix the ingredients well together. If you over-mix the ingredients, you may end up with a mixture that serves a compacted and dry chocolate cake.
Allow thecake layers to cool completely before spreading the chocolate cream filling over them. This prevents the filling from melting and the cake from getting soggy. For some other tips on how to make the best chocolate cake, click here.
