Introduction

You might recognize here the marble cake recipe. This time instead of making a marble cake, we used the chocolate batter to make a cat shape and inserted it in the vanilla batter to get this cute cake, perfect for anyone who loves cats.

This type of cake requires more time than usual because there is resting time in the freezer. For the shapes, you can use a cookie cutter or cut the shapes with a sharp knife. But we assure you it's worth it, especially for a special occasion.

If you prefer strawberry to chocolate, you got you covered: check out our Love Strawberry & Vanilla cake (with a hear shape at center).

Preparation

Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat oven to 355 F (180 C).
2. Melt the butter (microwave or over medium heat).
3. In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar & melted butter.
4. Add the eggs, flour and baking powder. Whisk. Finally add melted chocolate (microwave or over medium heat) & whisk.
5. Line your pan with parchment paper (this will help removing the cake from the pan) & bake for only 20 minutes. *Use a knife to ensure the cake is baked, the knife should come out clean & dry.*
6. Let cool down. *If you can't get the cake out of parchment paper easily or it's too soft to be cut properly, refrigerate for 30 min.*
7. Once it’s completely cooled down, cut the shape you’d like into the cake - *you can place to a freezer for 30 min - 1 hour to ensure it is cooled enough.* To cut the shapes you can either use a cookie cutter or a knife and a pattern to always cut the same shape (use parchment paper to make the pattern).
8. Place in the freezer until you are ready to insert in the second cake preparation (would wait at least an hour). If you’ll use a loaf pan, you can freeze the shaped cake pieces already stick to each other.
9. *Don't discard leftovers of chocolate cake, it will keep well in a container and is a very moist chocolate cake, perfect at anytime of the day!*
