Method

 

1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake Layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is well-combined (it will be thin). 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. Let the cakes cool completely before removing from pans.
2. Make the Chocolate Mousse: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and ½ cup of heavy cream over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened (do not boil). Remove from heat and stir in the melted chocolate until smooth. If using gelatin, bloom it in 1 tablespoon of cold water, then stir into the warm chocolate mixture. Let it cool to room temperature. Whip the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the chocolate mixture until fully combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
4. Assemble the Cake: Level the cake layers if necessary. Place one layer on a serving plate or cake board. Spread an even layer of the chocolate mousse over the cake. Top with the second layer of cake. Cover the entire cake with the chocolate whipped cream frosting. Smooth the surface or add decorative swirls.
5. Add the Ganache (Optional): Heat the heavy whipping cream until steaming, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly, then drizzle over the cake or use for decoration.
6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving.

4. Prepare the Whipped Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and white sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Assemble the Layers: Spread a layer of banana pudding over the graham cracker crust. Add a layer of the caramelized bananas. Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top.

Ingredients:

• 4 oz cream cheese (or coconut butter for a dairy-free option)
