Ohh...the custard cream looks light and smooth. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I would love to try out the custard cream for my chocolate cake :P
Hi Kitchen Corner,
Ya, the custard cream is very delicious.:) Can use it for simple chocolate cake or swiss roll.
Wow, the custard looks great! I can literally smell the chocolate! One can never have enough chocolate, don’t you think? For similar great chocolate recipes, check out Dove Chocolate Discoveries webpage. Yummy!
Hi Kelly,

Hi, just a random note.. Hope you don't mind.. I just want to tell you that in the recipe you've typed.. I think the cocoa powder in the cake ingredients is missing.. Hehe.. I just realised that and inform you straightaway so that other readers will not be confused. =)

Hi Missy,
This is chocolate butter cake whereas the chocolate fudge cake is chocolate sponge cake. For me both also taste fantastic.
Hi, just wanted to find out if this chocolate cake is the heavier kind, like very moist on the inside when eaten? Or is it the light and fluffy kind of the inside?
Thanks.
Hi WeiLi,
This is a moist chocolate butter cake.
I followed your recipe and while the cake was tasty, my custard cream did not turn out as expected. It was quite runny and not very spreadable like icing or whipped cream. It was very pudding like, even after I added corn starch to try to thicken it. What did I do wrong?
Hi Anonymous,
Did you pour the boiled milk into the egg yolk mixture or you do it the other way round. Once it thicken you have to remove it from fire as it will get thicker during cooling.
any substitute for custard cream? Thank have a nice day! you have a wonderful site!
Hi The Flour Boss,
You can use chocolate frosting/ganache.
