Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and sour cream. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.

  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. For the Chocolate Frosting:

  10. In a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

  11. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

  12. Let the frosting cool for about 15 minutes, or until spreadable consistency.

  13. To Assemble the Cake:

  14. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.

  15. Spread a layer of the chocolate frosting on top of the cake layer.

  16. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.

  17. Decorate with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries, if desired.

  18. Slice and serve this exquisite Chocolate Victoria Sponge Cake to your delighted guests or savor it all for yourself!
