Receta Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
My girls wanted to make their own birthday cake this year and they wanted a chocolate cake with a chocolate frosting. So, I went back to use my trusted moist chocolate cake from Pusiva that I had made for Edda's 1st. birthday party. I wanted a not too sweet chocolate whipping cream as the frosting for the cake and I played around with the recipe to come out with this. It was a really good frosting so I had to pen it down here so that next time I know where to find it.
I made this 2 layers chocolate cake (with the help of my girls) with Nutella filling in the middle and chocolate whipped cream. My girls decorated with some chocolate chips as well. Overall, a very delicious chocolate cake I might say. Very satisfied with the result.

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup cane powder sugar
4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Mixed all together in a big bowl. Use an electric beater and beat until stiff peaks formed. Should have enough to frost a 2 rounds 9" cakes.
