Ingredients
Units
- 1 recipe nut-free chocolate cake (see recipe here)
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (or an herbal coffee)
- 2 cups heavy cream (or you can whip coconut cream for a Paleo option using this method)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and adjust the rack to the middle position. Oil a 18 x 26 – inch baking sheet. Place a piece of parchment paper (that exactly fits the dimensions of the baking sheet) on the pan. Brush again with oil or butter.
- Pour the chocolate cake batter on the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 20-23 minutes until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the entire cake with coffee.
- Pour the heavy cream and maple syrup in the bowl of a standing mixer. Whisk on medium-high until soft peaks form.
- If serving in round glasses then take one of the glasses as a cookie-cutter and cut rounds out of the chocolate cake. Then, take a knife and trim the each circle just a little bit (this will enable the cake circles to easily slide into the glasses). Place a round of cake on the bottom of a glass. Place a nice spoonful of whipped cream on top of the cake round and spread evenly. Dust with cocoa powder. Repeat with another layer of cake, whipped cream and cocoa. Serve.
