Chocolate cake with powdered milk – notes
Recently, we were traveling to our family homes, and for this occasion, I baked Minotaur cake. I had spotted the recipe for this cake some time ago online, but I hadn’t had the opportunity to make it. With the four of us, it’s hard to eat such a large cake. This chocolate cream cake turned out delicious and everyone loved it! That’s why I recommend it to you for the upcoming Easter holidays.
How to make Minotaur cake – tips
I’ll tell you, it’s nothing difficult! First, we bake a chocolate sponge cake and make two creams. One cream is with powdered milk, and the other is with chocolate. We spread the creams on the sponge cake, and that’s pretty much it! I also spread the cake with dulce de leche. I had an open can in the fridge and didn’t want it to go to waste. Its addition gave the cake +10 to flavor – definitely check it out! So, if you have dulce de leche at home, add it to the cake! One more note regarding powdered milk – use full-fat powdered milk. Under no circumstances use granulated milk! It is not suitable here!
I highly recommend my other Easter recipes, as well as chocolate cakes and cream cakes.
P.S. Don’t ask me where the name comes from, because I have no idea :)
