A classic dessert featuring layers of sponge cake filled with creamy vanilla custard and topped with rich chocolate ganache. Perfect for celebrations or a sweet indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for the ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with milk, starting and finishing with flour. Mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  6. For the custard, heat the milk in a saucepan until warm. In another bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs, then mix in some hot milk. Return to the saucepan and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Let cool.
  7. For the ganache, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
  8. Once the cake is cooled, slice it in half. Spread custard on the bottom layer and place the other layer on top. Pour ganache over the top and let it set.

Notes

For best results, let the pie set in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Can store leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
