This is a unique and wonderful whipped cream recipe that adults are sure to love! As this part of the cake does not get baked, you may want to keep it out of the reach of children. To make this cake alcohol-free, just use Homemade Whipped Cream

Using Instant Coffee in Cake

This recipe calls for a tablespoon of instant coffee. Coffee enhances chocolate in a beautiful way and will make your cake unforgettable! However, some folks prefer not to use coffee in baking. The instant coffee can be omitted if that is the case.

Buttermilk in Cake

Should you not have buttermilk on hand you can make your own. In this cake recipe, I recommend the sour cream version of homemade buttermilk.

How to Build a Layer Cake with Whipped Cream

1. Use a dowel. Or better yet, use a plastic straw. I talk about that in detail here, but basically, you just insert a straw into the cake to rest the layers on.
2. Add a bit of meringue powder to your homemade whipped cream. This helps to create a more sturdy whipped cream. The ratio is 1 teaspoon of meringue powder per 2 cups of heavy cream.
3. Chill between layers. Try freezing for 15 minutes before adding the next layer of cake on top. If using this method make sure you serve the cake very cold!
