Whipping Cream Chocolate Cake 鲜奶油巧克力蛋糕
I’ve bookmarked this recipe from Helena’s blog for more than 2 months but until two days ago I suddenly remembered that this recipe does not have butter as one of the ingredients. It is a very simple chocolate cake but yummy and not very sweet too with using dairy whipping cream. The method of mixing the ingredients is really easy and the texture of the cake is not dense with tender crumbs. I baked this cake in cupcake liners so that I can serve them individually for tea break but you can also bake it in a loaf pan. If you still have any leftover whipping cream at home and ran out of ideas what to do with it, why not give this Whipping Cream Chocolate Cake recipe a try.
