My favorite chocolate cream cake has two ultra-moist homemade chocolate cake layers filled with fluffy almond whipped cream. I ate this cake every year for my birthday growing up! It’s so easy to make from scratch, and lighter than a classic buttercream layer cake.
Growing up, my mom would make this chocolate cream cake for my birthday cake every year. My dad always insisted that a chocolate cake needs to have chocolate frosting, but I LOVED this version, with fluffy almond whipped cream as the “frosting” between the fudgy layers. Mom always used a boxed cake mix and Cool Whip, but I’ve updated the recipe over the years to make this cake 100% from scratch, with my easy homemade chocolate cake and stabilized whipped cream. I think it tastes all the better for it!
