A delicious, gluten-free chocolate birthday cake! The best birthday cake is made with three layers of fluffy chocolate cake, coconut whipped cream, and fresh berries!
With its basic preparation and universally loved flavor profile, I think it’s an excellent “everyday” cake. However, for birthdays and any upcoming spring celebrations, I will also see it making an excellent cake. In other words, make this cake and create a million friends immediately.
With the coconut whip, I went for summery vibes, but you may definitely go for classical frosting if you chose. Berries make it, in the summer in particular! So you’re sure to consider it a final touch, whichever frosting route you end up taking.
Make this cake for your own birthday or for loved ones. It’s the perfect experience that everyone would be able to take part in and enjoy.
