Instructions
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine 200 grams of sugar, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, and water. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring constantly.
Once boiling, remove from heat and allow to cool.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with 50 grams of sugar until the volume increases by 2 to 2.5 times. This may take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
Step 4
Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture into the whisked eggs, mixing gently but thoroughly to combine.
Next, add the dry ingredients in parts, folding them in carefully to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Pour the batter into a prepared 22 cm (9 inch) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and do not grease the sides.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170-180°C (340-355°F) for 40-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 6
Once baked, let the biscuit cool completely. Run a thin knife along the edges of the pan and carefully release the biscuit.
After cooling, let it rest for 4 to 6 hours before slicing it into three layers.
Step 7
In a thick-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, flour, and combine well.
Gradually stir in milk, then heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
Transfer the cream into a dry container to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, whip the butter until pale, then combine it with the cooled custard.
Step 8
Dissolve the powdered sugar in warm milk to create a soaking mixture for the layers.
Step 9
In a saucepan, combine sour cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and butter. Place over low heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 10
Start with the first layer of biscuit, brush it with the soaking mixture, spread cream on top, then add another layer of biscuit. Repeat the process—soak, cream, biscuit—until all layers are stacked with the final biscuit layer placed upside down.
Finish with the cooled glaze on top of the cake.
Servings
When it comes to serving your Chocolate Eskimo Cake, **presentation is key!** Start with a simple plate, or go all out with a decorative cake stand. Consider placing fresh berries or mint leaves on top for a pop of color! 🍓🍃
You can also accompany this delightful cake with a side of whipped cream to enhance its creaminess. For added fun, serve mini slices with toothpicks as finger food at parties. 🎉
For a refreshing twist, pair your cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – the melting ice cream complements the rich chocolate perfectly. 🍦
And let’s not forget about the beverages! A delicious chocolate cake pairs wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. ☕️
Equipment
Having a set of various sized mixing bowls will help you prepare ingredients efficiently. Ensure they are easy to clean for quick post-baking cleanup!

Variations
If you’re curious about adapting this recipe to fit specific dietary preferences, we’ve got you covered! 🌱
Gluten-Free Variation: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Always check the flour for a 1:1 substitute and ensure it contains xanthan gum, which helps mimic the elasticity of gluten.
Vegan Variation: Replace the eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce. Use plant-based margarine and almond milk to keep the recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly. Your cake will still be delicious and moist! 🥳
Faq
- What if my cake doesn't rise properly?
Ensure that your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Also, be careful not to overmix the batter, which can lead to a dense cake.
- How do I store leftover cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerate it for up to a week.
- How can I improve the flavor of the chocolate cake?
Add a pinch of espresso powder or coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor, or consider using high-quality cocoa powder for a richer taste.
- Can I freeze the cake layers?
Absolutely! Cool the cake layers completely, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw before assembly!
- What adjustments need to be made for high-altitude baking?
At high altitudes, reduce the sugar slightly and increase the liquid in the recipe. Baking times may also need to be adjusted slightly.
- How can I fix a dry cake?
If your cake turns out dry, you can brush it with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water, or serve it with a side of creamy frosting or ice cream!
