Chocolate Layer Cake: What Ingredients Do You Need?
For the chocolate cake, you will need:
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup kefir or buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup neutral cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
For the sweetened condensed milk cream, gather the following ingredients:
- 400 g sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup crème fraîche
Chocolate Layer Cake Recipe: The Steps
Start by preparing the chocolate cake. First, preheat your oven to 180°C.
In a bowl, mix the whole egg with the granulated sugar, kefir, and neutral oil. Sift the flour and cocoa powder, then add them to the mixture. Finish by adding the baking soda.
Butter and flour a round cake pan, preferably a springform pan, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes using conventional oven heat.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling cream. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Then add the crème fraîche and stir vigorously.
Assembling the Cream-Filled Cake
For the assembly, make sure the chocolate cake has completely cooled before handling it.
Remove it from the pan, then cut it horizontally into 4 layers. Use a large knife or bread knife to make even cuts. Separate the four layers.
Begin by generously spreading the sweetened condensed milk cream over the first layer. Place the second chocolate cake layer on top, spread it with cream, and continue in the same way with the remaining layers.
Finish by spreading a little cream over the top and crumbling some chocolate cake over it. Sprinkle with a little cocoa powder.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, cut into beautiful slices, and enjoy.
Sweetened Condensed Milk Cream: Let Your Creativity Flow
Sweetened condensed milk cream is an excellent base for a variety of refined flavors.
During boiling, you can add the seeds from a vanilla bean or pistachio flavoring, for example. You can also choose cocoa nibs, which add a very original crunchy touch.
Fruit such as strawberries or raspberries, cut into pieces, makes an ideal addition to the cream.
And there is nothing stopping you from grating a little chocolate over the cake to please lovers of rich cocoa flavors.
