How to make Triple Chocolate Cake From Scratch

First, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, oil, salt, and milk until well combined. Using a fine-mesh strainer, sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder into the mixing bowl, and whisk to combine.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and tartar cream until light and frothy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until stiff. Add a large scoop of the egg white mixture to the chocolate egg yolk batter. Fold to lighten the chocolate mixture. Continue to add the egg whites to the chocolate batter, folding just to combine. Pour the cake batter into a round cake pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 55 minutes.

Let the cake cool fully, then remove it from the cake pan and carefully slice the cake into four thin rounds.

In a glass mixing bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and hot cream for the chocolate ganache filling. Mix until the chocolate is completely melted and set aside.

In a separate glass bowl, combine the white chocolate and warmed cream for the white chocolate ganache filling.

To assemble the chocolate cake, place one layer of cake on a platter. Brush with milk, then a layer of chocolate ganache filling. Place the next layer of chocolate cake on top, brush with milk, and white chocolate ganache filling. Repeat with the remaining filling and cake.

In a glass mixing bowl, make whipped cream with the remaining heavy cream and an electric mixer. Spread the whipped cream on the top of the assembled triple-layer chocolate cake. When fully frosted, chill the cake for 1 hour.

In a small saucepan, melt the sugar, butter, and milk chocolate for a chocolate glaze. Pour the warm glaze over the cooled cake. Smooth it out, press chocolate shavings into the side of the cake for decoration. Enjoy!
