Method
Cake
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Incorporate Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Ice Cream
Scoop the Ice Cream
Once the cakes are completely cool, scoop the vanilla ice cream and set it aside to soften slightly.
White Chocolate Topping
Prepare the Topping
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Assembly
Layer the Cake
Place one layer of chocolate cake on a serving plate. Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Add the Second Layer
Place the second layer of chocolate cake on top of the ice cream.
Drizzle the Topping
Using a ladle or squeeze bottle, drizzle the melted white chocolate topping over the top of the cake, allowing it to flow down the sides.
Serve
Slice the cake and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious 'Tap That Cake'!
