- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
- In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and softened butter until smooth. Gradually combine with dry ingredients.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While cooling, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once cooled, slice each layer in half horizontally and assemble with cream filling between layers.
Notes
Allow cake layers to cool completely before assembly to prevent melting the filling.
Chill mixing bowls and beaters for better whipped cream consistency.
Feel free to add crushed nuts or chocolate shavings between layers for added texture.
