Preparation

1. Prepare the moist cake

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat to 180 ºC (350 ºF) and grease the pan with oil or butter to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step is essential for a Sublime Cocoa uniform and lump-free.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Integrate the mixture: Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients while mixing at low speed to avoid incorporating too much air and obtain a Cold tuna Mocha Chocolate and Strawberries with a soft texture.
  5. Add the coffee: Add hot coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor. Use regular or decaffeinated coffee, according to your preference. This is a secret for the cake to have a romantic flavor of Cocoa Trio.
  6. Bake: Pour the mixture into the mold and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick that it comes out almost clean; it should be moist but not raw.

2. Prepare the chocolate milk mixture

  1. Combine ingredients: In a bowl, mix the condensed milk with the cocoa until there are no lumps. Then add the whipping cream and evaporated milk and beat until homogeneous.
  2. Apply on the warm cake: When the cake is still warm, use a toothpick to make many holes all over the surface so that when pouring the milk mixture, it penetrates well and forms the characteristic special moisture.
  3. Cool completely: Let the cake cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least an hour so that it takes on an ideal texture and the flavor blends.

3. Prepare the chocolate whipped cream frosting

  1. Chill utensils: Place the bowl and whisks in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to achieve a firmer and thicker cream, a key aspect for this Triple Delight.
  2. Sift sugar and cocoa: Combine the powdered sugar with the cocoa powder and pass them through a sieve to avoid lumps and achieve a silky texture.
  3. Whip the cream: Start whipping the cold cream at medium speed until it begins to form soft peaks.
  4. Incorporate the sugar and cocoa: Add half of the sifted mixture, beat for a few seconds, then add the rest and beat until firm, consistent peaks are achieved that can be spread without dripping.

4. To finish and serve

Carefully spread the chocolate whipped cream over the already cooled cake. Decorate with chocolate shavings for a final touch that enhances the Cocoa Flavor. This cake is ideal for storing in the fridge until serving time. You can accompany it with coffee or a cold drink to balance the intensity of the chocolate. This Chocolate Delight will be perfect to surprise your guests.
