Multi-layered Choco Cake Shake is a chocolate lovers delight. The combination of chocolate cake infused with vanilla and caramel milk-shake is heavenly. This recipe is a wonderful addition to my Desserts section that includes Shahi Malai Bhog, Nutty Avocado Shake, Coconut Caramel Cake among others.
It is customary to have a chocolate cake at the birthday parties at my home as it is our favorite. Left over cake from the parties always delights me. And looking at the glee on my face my husband can guess the reason behind it. He knows that very next day I shall be making thick and rich chocolate cake shake. I just can’t resist the temptation to make cake-shake and I want my perfect recipe to enjoy it.
About the multi-layered choco cake shake
Let me explain this choco cake shake. It is a very uncomplicated recipe to make and if you exclude the refrigeration time, it is also a quick recipe to make. There are several layers in this shake. Crumbled chocolate cake, vanilla thick shake, caramel thick shake and several toppings make the various layers of this drink. The chocolatey taste of the semi-sweet cake with the subtle vanilla shake is great. The infusion of caramel flavor through caramel milk shake and caramelized cashews provides a different dimension to this shake. I prefer using semi-sweet chocolate cake to balance the sweetness of the drink.
Feel free to add toppings to this choco cake shake based on your liking. I have used whipped cream, strawberries and caramelized cashews for this recipe. However, you may choose any toppings as per your liking.
So, try out this amazing Chocolate cake shake and please let me know if this was your tummy to heart moment…
