Custard cream and cacao 
This is for a package of a cake.
xxx is a name of a cake. It is like a catch copy?

In this case cacao is OK?

Thank you!

cacao

I think it's fine. Cocoa is made from cacao.

neutral Yumico Tanaka (X) : Yes but how many people can buy it at a supermarket nearby?

I can't find tartrazine in a nearby supermarket. If I find タートラジン in a list of ingredients would it be acceptable to translate as lemon? The first line of the question reads "One and only".
agree Nikki Kopelman : I'd agree with cocoa as well.

cocoa

Just a normal thing. What's the problem?

chocolate

Unless it specifically refers to "cacao", "chocolate" may do. Isn't it simply a chocolate cake with custard cream or, although less likely, a cake with custard cream and chocolate cream?

Then link below shows "cacao cake" is "chocolate cake".

Cheers!
neutral Yumico Tanaka (X) : If the "cacao" is followed by "cake" I agree, but in this case I think the line is describing the ingredient of the package.

Thank you for your comment. But if they were ingredients, they should have most likely listed up 'milk, flour, butter, egg york, and vanilla essence" for the custard. The description doesn't seem to be the ingredients used for the cake.
disagree David Gibney : The description says "one and only", therefore chocolate is unlikely as chocolate cake is quite common. You can't have "raw cacao" in a cake for the same reason you can't have raw eggs, raw carrots, etc. in a cake. A cake is baked.

If it means raw cacao, your suggestion is right, and I don't think it is "cocoa" as the word is usually used with another word like "cocoa butter" and "cocoa power" unless it means a hot beverage.
