Chocolate cake layered with fluffy cream is a classic dessert that everyone loves. In this guide, we’ll walk you through an easy way to assemble a chocolate cream layer cake that looks and tastes amazing. The secret to a soft, creamy chocolate layer cake is in the cream. Using a canister or whip cream charger dispenser ensures that your cream layers are stable, smooth, and easy to pipe between cake layers.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chocolate Cake:



  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk)

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup boiling water


For the Cream Layers:

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract



Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bake the Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

  4. Stir in boiling water carefully; the batter will be thin.

  5. Divide into pans and bake for 30–35 minutes. Cool completely.

2. Prepare the Whipped Cream

  1. Pour chilled heavy cream into your whipped cream dispenser.

  2. Add sugar and vanilla extract.

  3. Charge with a cream charger or nitrous oxide canister.

  4. Shake gently until the cream is light, airy, and ready to pipe.

Pro Tip: Chill the dispenser and cream beforehand for the best texture.

3. Assemble the Cake

  • Slice cakes horizontally if you want thinner layers.

  • Pipe or spread a generous amount of whipped cream between layers.

  • Repeat for all layers, finishing with a cream topping.

  • Optional: Decorate with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or berries.
