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 recipe to share with us all.
Thankfully, it's so easy to make! The chocolate cream is so easy to make, but you'll want to plan this the day before by getting it 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 below. The German version, as sent in, is at the bottom of the page.
The best part of this cake is truly the chocolate cream. So rich and not too sweet. Do make sure you buy the best bittersweet chocolate you can.
For the cake that Lydia made, I purchased Ghirardelli for her and it turned out delicious.
My granddaughter, Lydia, made this for her 14th birthday celebration, by herself for the first time! It's topped with Twix bars (cut in half), her favorite. Choose your favorite chocolate bar to top yours. Wunderbar!

I'm so glad that Claudia posted this onto the Facebook page. It had so many requests for the recipe, that I asked her if she'd be willing to share it here. I'm so glad that she agreed!
