Instructions
Preheat Stove-Top heavy-bottom Casserole or any similar cooking ware over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
If using a heavy bottom casserole, put just enough salt to cover the entire bottom it helps stabilize the heat evenly.
Place fitted wire rack in the center and cover with a lid.
The lid hole should be sealed with a foil so the heat can’t escape.
Line 4 (6-inch) round pans with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and prepare chocolate cake batter according to package direction.
Divide the batter into 4 pans and spread evenly. (If you have a chocolate cake recipe, that would be a perfect cake base for your icebox.
And by the way bake your cake in a pan with the same size of your tin can, so you won’t have to trim & waste a thing.
Cook/Bake/Steam the cake for about 8-10 minutes.
Keep an eye on your cake because’ we may have different kinds of stove and the heat varies.
To check, insert wooden stick in the center and if comes out clean or a few moist crumbs, it’s done.
Repeat process for the other batch.
Fire off and let it cool completely on a wire rack, before assembling.
Let’s Prepare our trusted Frosty Whipped Cream: I’m using 1 box (200g) of Frosty Whip Cream Powder that would be 1½ cups FWCP and to that we are going to add ¾ cup of super cold water.
Moistened the cream powder first before whipping.
When it’s fully whipped and aerated, you can add 1 box (250ml) Nestle All-Purpose Cream and vanilla extract if you want (optional) and whip until well combined.
Divide Whipped Cream into 4 parts.
