Chocolate Molly cake – whipped cream soft cake
Since you really like the classic vanilla version of Molly cake, I decided to prepare this whipped cream soft cake base in a chocolate version. For all those who do not know this cake, it is a very soft base, a sort of sponge cake, with whipped cream in the batter. The idea comes from the brilliant mind of a cake designer Eleonora Coppini.
The cake is perfect to be filled or decorated with different types of frostings or butter creams or to be covered with fondant. Soft and delicate, this cake is almost entirely flat and does not crumble. It is a cake without butter and without oil but with the whipped cream that guarantees the right need for fat in the batter.

Cake with whipped cream in the batter – baking time
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in a preheated static oven at 160 ° C for about 1 hour. Bake until the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. You can start checking if it is done after about 45 – 50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down for 10 minutes. Now take the cake out of the pan and flip it over a cooling rack to lower any raised surface. Let it cool completely before cutting it.
