Chocolate Layered Dessert with Creamy Filling and Chocolate Shavings

Ingredients:

**For the Cake Layers:**

– 1 box of chocolate cake mix (or your favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe)

– Ingredients as per cake mix instructions (eggs, oil, water)

 

**For the Creamy Filling:**

– 2 cups heavy cream

– 1 cup mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese)

– 1 cup powdered sugar

– 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

**For the Topping:**

– Chocolate shavings (dark or milk chocolate, as per preference)

 

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Cake Layers:**

– Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.

– Prepare the chocolate cake batter as per the instructions on the box.

– Divide the batter evenly into two round cake pans and bake as directed.

– Once baked, allow the cakes to cool completely. Once cooled, slice each cake horizontally to create four thin layers of cake.

 

2. **Prepare the Creamy Filling:**

– In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

– In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.

– Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

 

3. **Assemble the Dessert:**

– In a large glass dish (like the one in the image), place one layer of the chocolate cake.

– Spread a generous layer of the creamy filling over the cake layer.

– Repeat the layering process with the remaining cake layers and creamy filling, finishing with a layer of the creamy filling on top.

– Cover the top layer generously with chocolate shavings.

 

4. **Chill and Serve:**

– Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

– Serve chilled, scooping out portions to reveal the beautiful layers.
