London Cake | Ultimate Chocolate Caramel Cake | Moist, Rich & Easy
🍰 Today we’re making a decadent Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake — moist, rich, and filled with silky chocolate ganache and whipped caramel cream. This dessert is perfect for celebrations, family gatherings, or whenever you want a show stopping cake that tastes even better than it looks.
✨ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
• How to make a smooth, glossy chocolate ganache
• How to prepare a whipped caramel cream
• How to bake a moist chocolate sheet cake
• How to assemble perfect, clean layers
Ingredients:
✨ Caramel Cream
150 g sugar
150 g heavy cream
40 g butter
A pinch of salt
Heat the cream until hot (but not boiling).
In a separate pan, melt the sugar until it reaches a deep amber color.
Add the butter and mix until smooth.
Carefully pour in the hot cream — it will bubble up — then reduce the heat.
Stir for about one minute until fully combined.
Add the salt, transfer to a bowl, and chill for a few hours.
Once cold, whip the caramel briefly until lighter in color and creamy.
🍫 Chocolate Ganache
350 g dark chocolate
350 g heavy cream
45 g butter
Heat the cream until hot, then remove from the heat.
Add the chocolate, making sure it’s fully covered by the cream.
Let it sit for 5 minutes, then mix until glossy and smooth.
Add the butter and blend until fully incorporated.
Transfer to a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill for a few hours.
🍰 Moist Chocolate Cake
160 g flour
40 g cocoa powder
200 g sugar
1 tsp baking soda
A pinch of salt
2 eggs
80 ml vegetable oil
160 ml buttermilk
160 ml hot coffee
Combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
I recommend sifting the flour and cocoa powder to prevent lumps in the batter.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and buttermilk.
Add the dry ingredients, then thin the batter with the hot coffee.
Pour into a 40×30 cm tray and bake at 180°C for 12–15 minutes.
Cut the cooled cake into 3 equal layers.
🎂 Assembly
Place the first cake layer on your board. Spread ¼ of the chocolate ganache, then pipe ⅓ of the caramel cream. Repeat with the second layer. Finish with a smooth layer of chocolate ganache on top. (My video uses 4 layers, but all quantities are for 3 layers)
💡 Tips for Best Results
• Chill both creams before assembling the cake
• Whip the caramel only after it’s fully cold
• Use hot coffee for a deeper chocolate flavor
• Level your cake layers for a clean finish
