This chocolate chip cake was the very first cake recipe that I tried out for my first decorated cake. Now seven years later it is still one of my most used recipes. I got the recipe from a danish online cake community but I have made some changes over time. I like to use it for layered cakes, cake bites, 3D cakes or just plain with a spread of thin royal icing and sprinkles on top.
I always like to use a filling together with this chocolate cake. Chocolate ganache or fruit mousse. I used to use a store bought mousse mixture but nothing beats a good home made fruit mousse. So when I saw a tv program with a danish pastry chef making raspberry mousse I thought I would give it a try.
I hope that you will enjoy the chocolate chip cake with raspberry filling just as much as I do.

Hi I have a quick question about the gelatine sheets used in the mousse. there are different types of gelatine sheets. for example I can get sheets of titanium strength. I have also seen gold strength. does it matter what type???

We only have one type of gelatine sheets here in Denmark, so I don’t know which strength you should use. Sorry.

Hi Louise
I love your blog and finally had a go at this chocolate chip cake, but using gluten-free flour. Unfortunately the mix was very runny and the choc chips sank to the bottom. The cake didn’t really rise and is very dense. It tastes great though so I want to have another go. Before I start playing around with quantities of flour (adjustment sometimes required with gluten-free), can you please let me know roughly how many mls the orange juice amounts to for you with your ‘large’ oranges. The oranges I used were quite large and I’m wondering if they were just too big.
Thanks, and keep inspiring!

Firstly it is a very runny/thin cake batter so nothing wrongs there. However you can mix the choc chips with a little flour just before adding them to the mixture. This helps to prevent them from all sinking. Also try and chop some of the chips too.
You should be using about 300 ml of orange juice. I hope that you succeed with the gluten-free adjustments
