Former Royal Chef Shares The Queen’s Chocolate Birthday Cake Recipe

The Queen has two birthdays a year and celebrates each, with her Grandmothers (Queen Mary) chocolate cake recipe. It’s a family recipe that has been passed down from Queen’s chef to King’s chef to Queen’s chef and is laden with chocolate. The Queen’s favorite. Her Grandmother’s favorite and will be your favorite too!

Here is the authentic recipe that we made twice a year during the eleven years I was rattling pans in the royal kitchens at Buckingham Palace. Layers of delicious chocolate genoise sponge sandwiched together with dark chocolate ganache and enrobed in poured chocolate. The perfect birthday cake!

Chocolate Birthday Cake
12 egg yolks
4 whole eggs
8 ounces sugar
4 ounces flour
2 ounces cocoa powder
4 ounces butter

For the filling;
1 lb 60% dark chocolate
16 fluid ounces heavy cream

For the coating;
1 lb 60% dark chocolate
16 fluid ounces heavy cream

Whip the egg yolks, eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl. Place the bowl over hot water and whisk until the mix is hot. Remove from the pan of water and whisk on a mixer until the mixture thickens and leaves a ribbon on top of the mix when the whisk is lifted out of the mix.

Melt the butter and sieve the flour and cocoa together. Pour the butter into the eggs and then add the cocoa/flour mix. Cut and fold into the egg mix until combined and no lumps. Pour into a 9-inch cake tin lined with parchment paper, sides and bottom greased and floured and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the sponge comes out clean.

Place the cake onto a cooling wire and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes then invert the cake onto another cooling wire, remove the tin and the parchment. Allow the cake to cool completely.

While the cake is cooling melt the chocolate filling and bring the cream to a boil. Pour the cream onto the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until almost set.

Slice the cake into three layers and sandwich with the chocolate filling. Place the cake onto a cooling wire. Repeat the process with the chocolate and cream for the coating. Spoon over the top of the cake and down the sides until all is covered. Allow to set.

Refrigerate the left over chocolate ganache and use to decorate the cake.

How To Make The Best Queen’s Cake

Do you enjoy British culture? Do you like to host tea parties and brunch?
If so, over time, you may start to feel like your menu is getting a little mundane. You know what’s good, what your guests like, and what’s easiest to cook.

But going to the same recipes time after time can start to get tedious. Even if your guests don’t notice - you do.
Why not change things up a bit by going very traditional during your next tea party with Queen’s cakes?

Ingredients:

100 grams sugar
100 grams butter
150 grams white flour
2 eggs
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon water
Chocolate chips*
Icing
Food coloring
Decorations**

How to cook:

Mix the sugar and butter in a bowl until creamy and smooth. You can use either a wooden spoon or an electric mixer.
Add the flour and eggs. Mix, and then add vanilla extract.
Stir in baking powder and water.
Put a tablespoon of batter in each of the compartments of a cupcake tin/tray***
Heat the oven to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 minutes.
Let the cakes cool, then place them on a rack or plate and decorate with the icing and decorations.
* Older recipes for Queen’s cake currents instead of chocolate chips. They also add rose or orange flower water, mace, or lemon for extra flavoring. Check out some more recipes online to find what fits your taste buds the best.
** Decorations can include: Sprinkles and candies. Another option is to forego the icing/decoration combo and top the cakes with powdered sugar.
*** The trays you use don’t have to be round cupcake trays. Have some fun with your cakes by mixing some round cakes with star- and heart-shaped cake tins.

Bon Appetit!
