Ingredients for the Chocolate Sponge
- Oil – 110 ml
- Eggs – 2
- Sugar – 200 grams
- Cream Cheese – 50 grams
- Whipping Cream – 75 grams
- All-Purpose Flour (Maida) – 150 grams
- Baking Powder – 1 gram
- Baking Soda – 1 gram
- Water – As required
For the Frosting
- Milk Chocolate – 140 grams
- Whipping Cream – 150 grams
- Cream Cheese – 50 grams
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, add oil, sugar, eggs, water, and cream cheese. Mix everything well until smooth. You can also use yogurt instead of cream cheese if preferred. Next, add whipping cream and mix again for a creamy consistency.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda, then slowly fold them into the wet mixture. Mix until you get a lump-free, smooth batter.
2. Bake the Cake
Take two 7-inch baking pans. Divide the batter evenly between both pans to ensure the cake layers bake properly and rise well. Bake them at 170°C (338°F) for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once baked, let the cakes cool completely.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Frosting
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Warm the whipping cream slightly (don’t overheat) and mix it with the melted chocolate until smooth. Finally, add cream cheese and combine well. Place the frosting in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to set.
4. Assemble the Cake
Once the cake layers have cooled, level them by trimming the tops if needed. Place one sponge layer on a cake stand, brush with simple sugar syrup to keep it moist, and spread a generous layer of prepared chocolate frosting. Place the second layer on top and repeat the frosting process for the top and sides of the cake.
5. Final Decoration
Pour melted chocolate on top for an extra glossy finish. You can also decorate with crushed Cadbury chocolates, candies, or celebration sprinkles as desired.
Pro Tips
- For extra height, you can use three smaller cake pans instead of two.
- If you prefer, you can substitute yogurt or dairy cream instead of cream cheese in the batter.
- Always let the cake cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the cream.
- Keep the cake refrigerated for the frosting to set properly before serving.
Conclusion
This homemade Cadbury Chocolate Cake is rich, moist, and packed with chocolate flavor. Whether you’re baking for family or guests, it’s sure to be a hit. Don’t forget to try this recipe and enjoy the perfect combination of sponge cake and creamy frosting at home!
