Chocolate Layer Cake

There can’t be enough chocolate cakes. The world needs more chocolate 😀

This one I baked for my brother who wanted a bakery styled chocolate layer cake with lots of chocolate cream.

Chocolate Layer Cake

The chocolate cake recipe used here is the one printed  on the  cadburys cocoa powder  box. It results in this lovely and moist chocolate cake because of the mava/ khoya in it.

I baked two 8 inch chocolate cakes with the recipe and sliced each of them into two layers each. And then the four layers were stacked together with lots of chocolate ganache resulting in this beauty!! It’s so gorgeous and yummy 🙂 Inviting, isn’t it 😀

Now for the chocolate layer cake recipe.
