Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Base

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Base

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.

Filling Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well blended.

  2. 8

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat on high speed until the mixture is thick and fluffy.

  3. 9

    Spread the Filling

    Once the base is completely cool, spread the cream cheese filling evenly on top of the base.

Topping Preparation

  1. 10

    Prepare the Ganache

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.

  2. 11

    Spread Ganache

    Pour the chocolate ganache over the cream cheese filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

  3. 12

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the ganache. Optionally, add fresh berries for decoration.
