How to Make Cocoa And Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the truffle filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and melted.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of the first layer with a generous amount of the truffle filling.
  11. Top with the second cake layer and repeat.
  12. Frost the top and sides of the cake with whipped cream. (Recipe for whipped cream may be added here if desired)
  13. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
