In the southern United States

In the southern United States, the Chantilly cake may refer to a frosted sponge cake layered with Crème Chantilly, a type of whipped cream, and berries.[1] The Berry Chantilly Cake was made famous by baker Chaya Conrad while working at a Whole Foods in New Orleans.[2]

In Hawaii

In Hawaii, Chantilly Cake dates back to the 1950s.[3] Usually, Chantilly cakes are chocolate cakes with a "Chantilly frosting", which is essentially the coconut frosting from a German chocolate cake without the coconut.[4] This is in contrast to the typical usage of creme Chantilly, which refers to sweetened whipped cream.[5]
