Heavenly chocolatey, creamy and fluffy tastes this chocolate cream cake. It is easy to prepare. The chocolate whipped cream cake is suitable for a weekend coffee as well as for a birthday. You can make it ready the day before for a party. You can find a detailed chocolate cake recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions here at the very bottom.
What can I make the day before?
For the chocolate cream cake, you can make the chocolate cake base, which you then cut into cake layers, the day before, just like the sponge cake for the semi naked cake. Let it cool thoroughly after baking and store it overnight in an airtight container in a cool place.
You can also prepare the chocolate mixture for the cream in advance. That way it can set in the fridge overnight at your leisure, much like the ganache for my chocolate honey cake. Just transfer it to a sealable container so it doesn’t absorb other smells from the fridge.
You can also assemble the chocolate cake itself the day before. This is because it needs to chill thoroughly for the cream to set, much like the chocolate kefir sour cream cake.
Chocolate cake for a birthday
This chocolate cream cake is perfect for a birthday. It tastes heavenly chocolaty, just like my mini chocolate sponge cakes, so it’s perfect for all chocolate lovers.
Plus, it’s not difficult to make at all. Make it best already the day before or, if the celebration is in the evening, ready in the morning for the birthday.
Cake layers as cake on their own
By the way, the cake layers for this chocolate cake taste delicious on their own, without a cream. They are incredibly moist, similar to the zucchini brownies or the chocolate pear cake, fluffy and chocolatey.
You can thus let the chocolate cake cool after baking and serve it directly. You don’t need to cut it into several cake layers.
This way you get a quick and delicious chocolate cake. For more chocolate flavor, you can cover it with chocolate glaze after cooling or sprinkle it with chopped chocolate before baking, similar to the chocolate banana bread.

Easy chocolate cake recipe
The chocolate cream cake recipe you’ll find in the recipe box here at the end of the post is pretty easy. The cake just needs some time to chill.
Step 1:
First, you need to prepare the chocolate mixture for the cream. To do this, heat the cream and stir in the chocolate until it melts. Refrigerate the chocolate mixture until it solidifies.
Step 2:
In this time you can make the cake layers. For the batter, mix eggs with sugar and salt. Then add milk, vegetable oil and melted butter. Then sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and mix to a thick chocolate batter.
Pour the batter into the springform tin and bake the chocolate cake. Then let it cool and cut it into three cake layers.
Step 3:
Now you can make the chocolate cream. Whip the cold cream until creamy and stir in the chocolate mixture from the refrigerator.
Step 4:
Now you can assemble the chocolate whipped cream cake. Spread the two cake layers with the chocolate cream and stack them on top of each other. Place the third cake layer on top. Let the cake cool for a few hours.
Step 5:
You just have to prepare the chocolate glaze. To do this, heat the cream and melt the chocolate in it.
Step 6:
Cover the surface of the chocolate cream cake with the chocolate glaze and let it cool for another hour.
How to make chocolate cream cake: tips and tricks
- To bake the chocolate cake, you will need a Ø 20 cm springform tin. It must either be very high or lined with baking paper so that it is above the edge of the tin. You need a high cake that you can later cut into three cake layers.
- Bake the chocolate cake no longer than necessary so that it tastes moist and not dry. Make a chopstick test to make sure it is ready. To do this, insert a wooden skewer briefly into the center of the cake and see if it comes out clean.
- Use cold cream to whip for the cake cream.
- The cocoa content in the dark chocolate for the cream should not be too high, because the cream does not contain sugar, but only makes do with the sweetness of the chocolate.
- You can assemble the cake in a springform ring as I did in my video recipe.
