Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (more if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing on low speed until smooth (the batter will be thin).
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  1. Prepare the Frosting:
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating on low speed until combined.
  • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy. Adjust the consistency with more cream if needed.
  1. Prepare the Ganache:
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
  • Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before using.
  1. Assemble the Cake:
  • Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of frosting on top.
  • Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  • Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the frosted cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
  1. Serve:
  • Let the cake set for a few minutes before slicing. Serve at room temperature.

Tips for Success:

  • For the moistest cake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • If the ganache becomes too thick after cooling, gently reheat it until it’s pourable.

Recommendation:
Nestlé Toll House Death by Chocolate Cake is perfect for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or any occasion that calls for a show-stopping dessert. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

Enjoy the ultimate chocolate experience with this rich and decadent Death by Chocolate Cake, a true delight for any chocolate lover!
