Chocolate Cream Torte, aka Schokosahne Torte, is one of those most traditional German cakes that everyone loves. Here, Facebook foodie fan, Claudia Conley, has sent in her photo and recipe to share with us all. Thankfully, it's so easy to make! And her photo looks so wunderbar! Note: you'll want to plan this the day before by getting the chocolate cream ready first.
Claudia sent in the recipe (in German) that she received from her friend, Ilse Schlund. It's one of those recipes that's been passed from friend to friend! I've translated it here. The German version, as sent in, is at the bottom of the page.
Claudia's Chocolate Cream Torte ❤️
Ingredients:
Cake:
- 6 eggs, separated
- 1½ cups sugar
- 6 tbsp water (I needed to add this to Claudia's recipe)
- 1 package vanilla sugar
- 1 cup minus 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 3 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Cream:
- 3½ cups whipping cream
- 3 bars bittersweet chocolate (total weight = 10 oz)
Instructions:
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan (use parchment paper in bottom)
- Whip egg whites until stiff and set aside.
- Beat egg yolks and sugar until creamy. Beat in water.
- Mix flour, cornstarch, cocoa, and baking powder together. Stir into egg yolk/sugar mixture and mix in water. Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before filling.
Chocolate Cream: Start this the day before!

Thinking of starting your own Handmade Business?
This Oma KNOWS you CAN do it.
How do I know?
Well, if I can do it, anyone can.
I've even figured out how I can help you.
I've teamed up with my own business coach, Renae Christine (yes, do google her!), to bring you this free masterclass. After you watch it, ask me any questions and I'll gladly answer them.
Don't hesitate. I'm not sure how long Renae will keep this free masterclass available.
PS: Yes, Renae really is as amazing as all the reviews say.
PPS: Yes, the course is for handmade items, but I've used it successfully for my cookbooks. I know others are using her methods for services, direct sales, and even a local ice cream bar & grill that's constantly selling out. You've nothing to lose by taking a look ... and a whole bunch to gain.
