Ingredients for the Cake:
- 4 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 250 ml milk
- 80 g vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 260 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
For the Cream Filling:
- 600 g cream cheese
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 120 g sugar
- Jam (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until they form a light, foamy mixture. Gradually add the milk, vegetable oil, cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder. Mix until smooth and well combined. - Cook the Cake Layers:
Divide the batter evenly into two portions. Heat a large skillet over low heat and grease it lightly. Pour in one portion of the batter, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat without opening the lid until the cake is fully set (about 15-20 minutes). Repeat with the second portion of batter. - Cool and Slice the Cake Layers:
Once both layers are cooked and cooled, carefully slice each in half horizontally to create four layers. - Prepare the Cream Filling:
In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese, sugar, and whipping cream together until smooth and fluffy. - Assemble the Cake:
Spread a layer of the cream filling between each cake layer, and if desired, add a thin layer of jam for extra flavor. Once the cake is fully assembled, spread the remaining cream on top and around the sides. - Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and enjoy this soft, creamy Whoopie Pie Cake!
