Why is it worth baking this moist chocolate cake with chocolate cream?
If you like chocolate cakes, especially moist and not too sweet ones, then this recipe will be perfect! The cake itself, in the style of a murzynek, is a real hit and could be eaten on its own, even without chocolate cream. But why?! Since the cream is so simple to make and so delicious, it’s not worth giving it up! You can even make the cake, glaze, and even the cream with just a spoon! You don’t need a mixer, unless you really want to use one, of course. Prepare all the necessary ingredients and get baking!
What ingredients are essential for baking a chocolate cake with cream?
To make such a delicious chocolate cake with chocolate cream at home, you will need a few basic ingredients that you can easily buy in a store. Below is a shortened list of products I used and possible substitutes.
- chocolate – for the cream, I used dark chocolate; you can also use semi-sweet chocolate, I do not recommend milk chocolate here, as the cream based on it will be too loose; if the cream is not sweet enough for you, add a little powdered sugar to it; for the topping, I used milk chocolate, but if you prefer, you can substitute it with dark chocolate – in that case, melt it with about 70 ml of heavy cream
- heavy cream – I used UHT 30% cream; you can also choose 36% cream
- mascarpone – you can buy this Italian cheese in any larger store and in discount stores; it is always available and easy to buy
- oil – I used rapeseed oil; you can use any other oil with a mild flavor
- milk – I used UHT 1.5% milk; you can also use milk with a different fat content, or even a plant-based drink
How many calories does one slice of chocolate cake with cream have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the caloric value for 100 g of the finished cake; if you divide the cake into 12 roughly similar pieces, each of them will have about 551 kcal (carbohydrates – 52 g, proteins – 8.7 g, fats – 30.3 g). This is quite a significant value, but with such an amount of chocolate, it’s not surprising ;) I think one piece won’t hurt anyone :)
Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
How to store chocolate cake with cream?
Cake with cream should be stored in the refrigerator, preferably in an airtight container or covered, to prevent it from drying out and absorbing refrigerator odors. It’s good to take it out at least half an hour before serving to allow it to warm up and the cream to soften slightly.
Can triple chocolate cake be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze the cake for about 3 months.
Why is it worth chilling the cake before serving?
Chilling allows the cream to stabilize well, making the cake easier to slice and ensuring that individual layers retain their shape.
Is chocolate cake with cream suitable for festive occasions?
Of course! It’s an impressive dessert that will be perfect for birthdays, family gatherings, holidays, or other occasions. The chocolate glaze also makes the cake look very appealing on the table.
