Chocolate Wasted Cake

 

 

For the chocolate cake I used my tried and tested, and well loved recipe for super Moist Chocolate Cake.

For My Favorite Chocolate Butter Cream, I used( To decorate 1 medium sized cake)

1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter(you can also use unsalted)

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

3/4 cup cocoa powder

80g milk chocolate of your choice (I used cadbury dairymilk bars)- At room temperature

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp heavy cream

How To Go About It

In a stand mixer (or a electrical hand mixer)add the butter . Mix till thick and fluffy.

Add cocoa powder and sugar. Mix on low speed to prevent sugar and cocoa from flying everywhere.

Increase speed and add the dairy milk bars,heavy cream and vanilla.

A thick creamy frosting will form.

I used a star nozzle to decorate the cake. Dusted cocoa powder at the edges of the cake. Then added three strawberries for face value!
