Method

Base Layer Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.

  1. 6

    Heat the Cream

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

  2. 7

    Melt the Chocolate

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.

  3. 8

    Cool the Ganache

    Let the ganache cool at room temperature until it thickens slightly.

Assemble the Dessert

  1. 9

    Pour Ganache Over Cake

    Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the rich chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.

  2. 10

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the ganache. If desired, add fresh berries for extra flavor and color.

  3. 11

    Serve
