Boozy Chocolate Liqueur Cake (So Easy)
Description
The Boozy Chocolate Liqueur Cake (So Easy) starts with a classic chocolate sponge base that is sliced into three layers. Each layer is soaked with a mixture of milk and Irish cream, imparting a subtle boozy flavor and moistness that enhances the cake’s softness. The filling is a chocolate cream made by melting semi-sweet chocolate chips and combining them with softened butter and sweetened condensed milk, then folding in whipped heavy cream to create a light yet rich texture. Assembly involves layering soaked cake and chocolate cream, with an extra layer of cream coating the outside. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of shaved chocolate that adds a slight textural contrast. This cake balances rich chocolate flavor with a creamy and moist mouthfeel, suited for special occasions or when a flavorful dessert is desired.
Ingredients
Sponge Cake
- 1 chocolate sponge cake
Chocolate Cake Cream
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 10 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream very cold
Decorating & Soaking
- 1 cup milk for soaking
- 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur for soaking
- 1 chocolate for decorating, shaved, from bar
Instructions
- Bake one chocolate sponge cake in a 7 to 9 inch pan.
- Allow the cake to completely cool and slice it into three evenly-thick layers.
- To make the soaking cream, combine milk and liqueur together. Use a spoon, pastry brush or squirt bottle to saturate each layer with the soaking cream.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring them every 10-15 seconds until silky smooth. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the melted chocolate, softened butter, and condensed milk together until well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the very cold heavy whipping cream until it reaches soft peaks. Fold in the chocolatey butter mixture with a spatula.
- To assemble the cake, place the first cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Spread on a layer of cake cream. Repeat until you run out of cake layers.
- Using the remaining cream, decorate the outside of the cake. Dust sides of the cake with shaved chocolate. Enjoy!
