Chocolate Cream Cake Squares Rich chocolate cake layered with a light vanilla cream filling and finished with a smooth, glossy chocolate glaze. Ingredients Chocolate Cake 2 cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup vegetable oil 1 cup buttermilk 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup hot coffee Vanilla Cream Filling 2 cups whole milk ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup cornstarch 2 egg yolks 2 tbsp butter 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped Chocolate Glaze 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ½ cup heavy cream 2 tbsp butter Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. In another bowl, mix eggs, both sugars, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in hot coffee. Pour into the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes. Cool completely, then carefully slice into two layers. For the filling, whisk milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Cool completely, then gently fold in whipped cream. Spread the vanilla cream over the bottom cake layer and place the second layer on top. Heat heavy cream until just simmering and pour over chocolate chips. Wait 2 minutes, then stir in butter until smooth. Spread the chocolate glaze over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then slice into squares and serve chilled.
