Nestles House Toll Death by Chocolate Cake

Step 3: Bake the Cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Ganache

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate morsels in a heatproof bowl.
Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Add the butter if using.
Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
Spread a generous amount of ganache over the top.
Place the second layer on top and cover the entire cake with ganache — top and sides.
Smooth with a spatula for a sleek finish or create decorative swirls for a rustic look.

Step 6: Garnish and Chill

Sprinkle chocolate chips or curls over the top for texture.
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour to let the ganache set.

🍴 Serving Suggestions

Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the richness. For added flair, drizzle with extra ganache or caramel sauce.

💡 Tips and Variations

Add crunch: Mix in chopped toasted nuts or crushed chocolate cookies between layers.
For mocha lovers: Replace hot water with brewed espresso.
Want a molten center? Pour half the batter, add a layer of ganache or chocolate truffles, then top with remaining batter.
