Cake and Filling

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Bake the Cake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

  6. 6

    Make the Chocolate Filling

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the chocolate filling over it, then top with the second cake layer. Use the remaining filling to top the cake.

  8. 8

    Serve and Enjoy

    Slice and serve the Chocolate Lovin' Spoonful cake. Enjoy the rich and creamy chocolate experience!
