The Delicious Chocolate Cake is a heavenly treat made from layers of moist chocolate cake, creamy filling, and a sprinkle of chocolate on top. Simple to make with everyday ingredients, it’s perfect for any occasion. Now let’s jump to the recipe.

Ingredients:

Cake:

  • 450g Flour
  • 360g Sugar
  • 90g Oil
  • 5 Eggs
  • 4 tablespoons Cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder (level)
  • 2 dl Water
  • Margarine (for greasing)
  • Flour (for dusting)

Filling and Topping:

  • 2 cans of condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons Cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Margarine
  • Chocolate sprinkles (as needed)

How to Make The Best Chocolate Cake Ever:

1. Preparing the Oven and Baking Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  • Grease a round baking pan with margarine and lightly dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.

2. Preparing the Cocoa Mixture:

  • Heat 2 dl of water in a saucepan or microwave.
  • Once warm, add 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
  • Stir until the cocoa is completely dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Making the Cake Batter:

  • Separate the egg yolks and whites.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 360g of sugar and 90g of oil until the mixture is creamy and light.
  • Gradually add the cocoa-water mixture to the egg yolk mixture, continuously beating to incorporate well.
  • Sift in 450g of flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, ensuring not to deflate the airiness.

4. Baking the Cake:

  • Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
  • Unmold the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

5. Preparing the Filling and Topping:

  • In a saucepan, combine 2 cans of condensed milk, 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of margarine.
  • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

6. Assembling the Cake:

  • Once the cake is completely cooled, carefully slice it horizontally into two equal halves.
  • Optional: Prepare a syrup by boiling 3 dl of water, 150g of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder for 2 minutes. Let it cool and drizzle over the two halves of the cake to moisten.
  • Spread half of the prepared chocolate cream over the bottom half of the cake.
  • Place the top half of the cake back on the cream layer.
  • Spread the remaining chocolate cream over the entire cake, smoothing the top and sides.
  • Decorate the cake by generously sprinkling chocolate sprinkles over the top.
  • Allow the cake to set for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the delicious chocolate cake on a plate and enjoy!
