Preparation

Cake

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

6. Bake the Cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

7. Cool the Cakes

Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Whipped Ganache

8. Heat Cream

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.

9. Melt Chocolate

Place the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over them. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.

10. Chill Ganache

Refrigerate the ganache for about 2 hours until firm, then whip until fluffy.

In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

12. Add Milk

Gradually add the milk while whisking to combine.

13. Cook Pudding

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles.

14. Add Chocolate and Vanilla

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped milk chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

15. Chill Pudding

Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator until set.

Toasted Meringue

16. Beat Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy.

17. Add Sugar and Cream of Tartar

Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat, then add cream of tartar.

18. Whip to Stiff Peaks

Continue beating until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.

19. Toast Meringue

Spread the meringue over the cooled cakes and use a kitchen torch to toast the tops until golden.
