4 Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
5 Prepare the Ganache: Heat 1 cup of heavy cream until simmering. Pour over 8 oz of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let it cool until thickened.
6 Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until combined. Add milk to achieve a fluffy, spreadable frosting.
7 Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Create a small well in the center and fill it with the chocolate ganache. Top with the second cake layer.
8 Frost the Cake: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
9 Garnish: Decorate with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
