This is not your normal chocolate cake, it screams different types of chocolates and dipped in an ocean of cloudy caramel coffee whipped cream, who doesn’t love a spoonful of whipped cream? The chocolate caramel fudge sauce, chocolate syrup and the whipped cream in between the cake layers take the cake to a whole new level. The cake is ultra soft, moist, creamy since we used both sour cream and buttermilk,so let’s dive in❣️ #jigawastate

7

Line your baking pan with parchment paper or brush it with butter and dust with flour and add half of the batter. Tap the tray in the counter to release any air bubbles and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 22 minutes or till you insert a tooth pick and it comes out clean.

16

You can use 2 cups of buttermilk instead of using both sour cream and butter milk but the sour cream add a great taste moisture and texture to the cake. Check my previous post to see how I made the sour cream. You can also substitute the sour cream with full fat Greek yoghurt
17

You can also use normal unsweetened cocoa powder instead of using both two you can also use 2 cups cocoa powder for a more richer cake. Recipe can be easily divided in to two. Feel free to add chocolate chips in the batter forca death by chocolate cake
18

You can use granulated sugar only but you’ll miss the flavor that. The brown sugar impacts.
