How to Make Nestle Toll House Death by Chocolate Cake

Step 1: Make the Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water slowly (the batter will be thin), but this step is essential for creating a moist cake.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Filling

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
2. Add the Nestle Toll House chocolate chips and butter to the hot cream and let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool until it thickens slightly, but is still spreadable.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache

1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
2. Add the chocolate chips and let them sit in the hot cream for a minute before stirring until smooth and glossy.
3. Set the ganache aside to cool slightly so it thickens, but is still pourable.
