👩🍳 How to Make Chocolate Bark Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Tray

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. This will be the base for your melted chocolate.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

Gently melt Pascha 100% Cacao Chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Spread & Roll

Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined tray and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top, then carefully roll it up. Place the rolled parchment in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare the Cake

While the chocolate sets, top your cake with fresh fruit — strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or any favorites you have on hand.

Step 5: Create the Chocolate Bark

Once the chocolate has set, remove the roll from the fridge. As you gently unroll the parchment, the chocolate will naturally crack into bark-like strips. These beautiful shards will be perfect for decorating the sides of your cake.

Step 6: Decorate & Serve

Line the sides of your cake with the chocolate bark pieces, pressing gently to adhere. Add any extra fruit on top and enjoy your chocolate-covered masterpiece!

🍰 Recipe Tips & Variations

Use different Pascha Chocolate varieties — try 70% or 85% for a touch of sweetness.
Add edible gold flakes or powdered sugar for a festive finish.
Try white chocolate bark for a stunning contrast effect.
Pair with fruity fillings like raspberry jam or chocolate mousse for extra indulgence.
