“Heaven on Earth Cake” is a decadent dessert that typically features layers of rich chocolate cake, creamy pudding or mousse filling, and a whipped cream topping. Here’s a basic recipe to make a delicious Heaven on Earth Cake:

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

For the Pudding/Mousse Filling:

  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (for mousse version)

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish:

  • Chocolate shavings
  • Chocolate sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Make the Chocolate Cake:

  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually add boiling water to the batter, mixing continuously. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Prepare the Pudding/Mousse Filling:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
  2. For a mousse version, fold in the whipped heavy cream into the pudding mixture until well combined.

4. Make the Whipped Cream Topping:

  1. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until it begins to thicken.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

5. Assemble the Cake:

  1. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate.
  2. Spread the chocolate pudding or mousse filling over the first layer.
  3. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
  4. Frost the entire cake with the whipped cream topping.

6. Garnish and Serve:

  1. Optionally, garnish the top with chocolate shavings and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
  2. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Slice and enjoy your heavenly creation! This cake is a delightful combination of rich chocolate, creamy filling, and fluffy whipped cream.
