Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- Fresh berries for garnish

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, frost the top with the whipped cream and decorate with fresh berries and mint leaves.
- Slice and serve to your mom for a stunning Mother’s Day dessert!
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding chocolate ganache as a topping.
- Feel free to substitute the berries with her favorite fruits.
