A few different things can affect how well cakes rise, I’ll run through the main points here, and hopefully, you can spot what went wrong with your cake and adapt for next time.

If you’re serving this as a celebration cake why not go all out and serve with a glass of Baileys for the grown-ups. Can I make this recipe without eggs? This moist chocolate cake is indulgence at every level, it's high in fat and sugar and should be enjoyed on special occasions as a treat, not for every day break time. Is this Galaxy chocolate cake safe to eat while pregnant? It’s truly a divine treat for anyone who’s a fan of Baileys and Galaxy chocolate, perfect for a special birthday or celebration! Will I need any special equipment to make Galaxy chocolate cake?

For this recipe, I’ve used wheat-based self-raising flour so it would not be gluten-free. I haven’t tested this recipe with gluten-free flour yet but you could give it a try if you want, let me know how you get on in the comments below.

Yes, this decadent chocolate cake is totally fine for vegetarians, it contains dairy cream and eggs but no meat or fish products. Galaxy is one of the most popular brands in the country (and world!) and I really am not surprised why. It has such an iconic taste, that is still suitably different to it’s main competitor! I absolutely adore both brands, but Galaxy can really take my fancy sometimes.. especially in cheesecake form. You’ll need things like weighing scales, measuring jug and measuring spoons, a couple of mixing bowls, and a microwave-safe bowl to heat up the cream for the ganache. Once cooled, wrap the cakes well in a freezer bag, labeled with the date and type of cake. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Then the night before you need them, get the cakes out to defrost in the fridge, you can then finish off by decorating on the day which doesn't take very long. Can I make this Galaxy chocolate cake in a different quantity?

As this cake contains fresh cream for the filling it needs to be kept in the fridge. Transfer any leftover cake into a suitable size container and pop it in the fridge. How long does this Galaxy chocolate cake keep? A stand mixer is a really handy kitchen gadget to use for a recipe like this that calls for quite a bit of whipping. This beauty is a cheesecake of your Galaxy dreams, with a buttery biscuit base (Masterchef anyone?!), a creamy and sweet Galaxy cheesecake filling, and topped with my Jane’s Patisserie style decor… a drizzle of melted chocolate, cream swirls, and more chocolate. Yeah, that’s correct… you read the title correctly, IT’S GALAXY CHEESECAKE TIME. I really have lost myself recently writing these intros, but I have been so excited about my recent recipes I just can’t help myself! This one in particular though… love a bit of Galaxy.
