Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the milk and vegetable oil, then mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  4. Grease a baking tray or cake mold. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C (356F) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat the chocolate whipped cream powder with 1 cup of cold milk until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold in the chocolate spread into the whipped cream.
  9. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over low heat until just warm.
  10. Add the chopped bittersweet and milk chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
  11. Once the cake has cooled, spread the chocolate cream evenly over the top.
  12. Pour the cooled ganache over the whipped cream layer, spreading it gently.
  13. Place the cake in the refrigerator and let it rest for a few hours to set.
  14. Before serving, decorate with fruits, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings.

Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to ensure better texture. Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined to keep the cake light and fluffy. For a smoother ganache, whisk the cream and chocolate together. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; wrapped portions may be frozen for up to 3 months. Sprinkle some sea salt over the ganache for an extra flavor boost before chilling.
