  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cakes cool completely, then cut each cake horizontally to create four thin layers.

Step 2: Prepare the Caramel Filling

  1. In a bowl, beat the softened butter until fluffy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits

4. Assembling the Layers

  • Method:
  • In a glass or transparent dish, start with a layer of the chocolate cake slices.
  • Spread a thick layer of the caramel cream evenly over the cake.
  • Repeat the layering process, alternating between cake and cream until the dish is filled.
  • Finish with a smooth layer of chocolate ganache on top.

5. Decorating the Top Layer

  • Method:
  • Use a piping bag filled with whipped cream or white chocolate to create decorative patterns on the ganache layer.
  • You can make a zigzag pattern and drag a toothpick through it to achieve a spider-web effect.

6. Chilling and Serving

  • Method:
  • Cover the dish with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve chilled, using a spatula to cut and lift portions from the dish.
