Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 Large eggs
• 4 Egg yolks
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 8 ounces Chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
• 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

Step 4

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5

To make the custard filling, heat 2 cups of whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Slowly pour the heated milk into the yolk mixture while whisking continuously.

Step 6

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens into a custard (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface, and let cool completely in the fridge.

Step 7

To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in the light corn syrup and water to create a glossy finish.

Step 8

To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the chilled custard evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top, pressing gently to set.

Step 9

Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature for a dreamy dessert experience!
