Zaira’s Chocolate Cake | Classic Chocolate
Zaira, my eldest, turned 16 on the 13th of March, 2020. Sweet sixteen. My baby girl has always been a sweet soul. She is kind, and always giving us such immense joy, since the day she was born. I used to pray before I had children, to god, to grant me a sweet and dear child for me to love and take care of. This prayer was answered 10 fold!
She really is my sunshine. She is the best big sister too :).
So every year, Zaira always hints to me ahead of her birthday, that I should make her favourite chocolate cake. I make a few types and I like to experiment, but this is hands down, her favourite Rich, Classic Chocolate cake.
This is a Chocolate cake made using Baking chocolate (unsweetened), instead of cocoa powder. Not a light sponge, but a pound-cake like ‘old fashioned’ chocolate cake.
This cake is frosted with a simple whipped cream topping. Although the cake may be sliced into two layers and filled with cream as well, I prefer just one solid cake and whipped topping over it. The light whipped topping, incorporates a small amount of homemade caramel sauce ‘Dulce de leche’.
The caramel is not prominent, yet it really works with the rich chocolate cake. We all enjoyed Zaira’s chocolate cake, and I hope you will too.
