Method

Crafting the Cocoa-Infused Cake Layer:

  1. Preparation of Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk and lemon juice. Integrate the sugar and vegetable oil, stirring until sugar dissolves comprehensively.
  2. Dry Ingredients Mixture: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Begin blending into the wet mixture.
  3. Final Mixing: Add hot soy milk, continuing to blend until the batter is seamless and smooth.
  4. Baking: Pour the batter into a greased pan, lined with parchment paper, and bake at 170°C/340°F for 20-25 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely post-baking, and remove from pan, setting aside the parchment paper.

Whipping Up the Cream Layer:

  1. Whipping Cream: Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks emerge.
  2. Layering: Lay fresh parchment paper into the baking pan, with extra on the sides for easy lifting. Place the cooled cake back into the pan and evenly spread the whipped cream over it. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.

Preparing the Luscious Chocolate Topping:

  1. Cooking the Topping: In a saucepan, mix butter, cocoa, sugar, and milk, bringing to a boil for 1 minute while stirring consistently. Allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Applying the Topping: Gently pour the chocolate mixture over the set whipped cream layer and refrigerate for an additional hour or until firmly set.

The Final Touch:

  1. Decoration and Serving: Lift the cake using the extended parchment paper sides, and slice it into rectangles. Embellish each piece with chocolate chips and serve with love.

Noteworthy Tips:

  • Adjust the powdered sugar in the whipped cream to your sweetness preference.
  • Ensure each layer is adequately set and chilled to prevent merging of the layers.
  • Utilize quality cocoa for a deep, rich chocolate flavor.

This multi-layered treat harmoniously combines the decadence of chocolate with the lightness of whipped cream, crafting a dessert that’s not only a feast for the eyes but also an ecstasy for the taste buds. Dive into this delicious adventure and make every occasion a tad bit sweeter with this splendid chocolate cake!
