Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Cake Layers

- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool completely, then cut each cake horizontally to create four thin layers.
Step 2: Prepare the Caramel Filling
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter until fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy.
Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
- 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.
