Choco Supernova Cake – A Decadent Blast of Flavor!

 Ingredients
● For the Cake Layers:
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
● For the Ice Cream Layer:
• 1 pint chocolate ice cream (softened slightly)
● For the Ganache Topping:
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup heavy cream
● For the Explosion Toppings:
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup crushed Oreos
• ½ cup chopped chocolate candy bars (like Snickers or Twix)
• Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

 Instructions
1: Prepare the Cake Layers – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Stir in the boiling water for a super moist batter. Divide evenly between the pans and bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
2: Assemble the Ice Cream Layer – Line a 9-inch pan with plastic wrap. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly into the pan and freeze until solid (about 2–3 hours).
3: Make the Ganache – In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just simmers. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl, let sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
4: Assemble the Cake – Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of ganache on top. Carefully remove the ice cream layer from its pan using the plastic wrap and place it over the cake. Top with the second cake layer and pour the remaining ganache over the entire cake so it drips down the sides.
5: Add the Explosion Toppings – Immediately sprinkle mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and chopped candy bars over the cake. Drizzle chocolate sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
6: Chill and Serve – Freeze the cake for at least 1 hour to set everything. Slice and serve with extra chocolate sauce or whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence!
