Triple Chocolate Layer Cake

Triple Chocolate Layer Cake is a moist chocolate cake filled with white, milk & dark chocolate whipped cream fillings. A luxurious chocolate ganache is poured on top of the cake and some fresh raspberries to finish the cake! 

Lately at work when it's someone's birthday I insist on baking something, a cake, cookies, bars...etc. Any excuse to bake really. So when some of my co-workers knew I was going to be away they made sure to let me know they would be missing out on their birthday treat. Well, I couldn't let that happen! So I decided to make a cake before I left.

This cake was delicious, over the top and everything I LOVE. I made my favorite chocolate cake and filled it with white chocolate whipped cream, milk chocolate whipped cream and dark chocolate whipped cream then topped it with a chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries. When I brought it in everyone thought I was nuts. Hello who doesn't love chocolate? Weirdos that's who.

How do you make a Triple Chocolate Layer Cake?

First off you need to make your chocolate cake layers. You could easily do this the day before you want to serve the cake. Once the layers have completely cooled wrap them in plastic wrap tightly.

Of course, preheat your oven, make sure your oven has enough time to properly heat up. Then spray two 9 inch round pans. These cake pans are my all time favorite, I own about 20 of them, no joke!

To make the cake use your normal ingredients. In a large bowl sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. You are sifting the ingredients together to mix them and make sure the cocoa does not have any lumps.

In the bowl of an electric mixer add eggs, oil, milk and sour cream and mix until fully combined. Slowly add in your dry ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated. Pour evenly into prepared pans and bake. My cakes baked at about 28 minutes but I would start checking at 22 minutes, everyone's oven is different. You can press the top of the middle of the cake and if the cake bounces bake, the cake is done, or you could use a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake to make sure there is no wet batter.

Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack.

How do you make chocolate cream filling?

Melt your dark, white and milk chocolates all in separate bowls. You could microwave the bowls on 50% power for 20-second increments mixing in between. Or you could use a double boiler or a makeshift double broiler- a bowl sat on top of a saucepan with water in over medium heat. Making sure the bowl does not touch the water in the saucepan. Whatever you do be careful- once chocolate burns there is no going back.

Now we need to make the whipped cream. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment mix together 3 cups of heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Divide into three equal bowls. Gently fold in milk chocolate into one part, dark chocolate into second whipped cream and the white chocolate into the last bit of whipped cream.

How do you make chocolate ganache?

To make the chocolate ganache in a small saucepan heat heavy cream for 4-6 minutes. In a medium-sized bowl pour in chocolate chips and pour heated heavy cream on top of chocolate. Let sit for 3 minutes then stir until completely combined. The hot cream will melt the chocolate.

Assembling the cake

Cut the two cakes in half and on a serving platter/cake plate place the first layer of chocolate cake, spread with white chocolate whipped cream, place next cake layer followed by milk chocolate whipped cream then a chocolate cake layer then the dark chocolate whipped cream then a chocolate cake layer.

Then spread chocolate ganache on top and let drizzle down the sides. Place raspberries on top and store in the fridge.

It's been a few weeks since I tasted this gorgeous cake but I salivate at the thought of the richness of this cake. I am in England now relaxing at my nan's house. Being sure to get my fill of Fish N Chips, chip butty, apple turnovers with fresh cream, crunchies, milky bars, beans on toast, mini rolls...and the rest. I can't control myself when I am on holiday!!

Hopefully, you give this Triple Chocolate Layer Cake a try it really is easy to set up but tastes amazing.

This cake will be made again so soon. I haven't baked in almost a month and it is killing me!! Honestly what I wouldn't give to whip up some chocolate chip cookies or cheesecake. Luckily my amazing nan is a baker and made me some coffee cake the other day and rice pudding is next....MMM!!
