How to Make Triple Layer Brownie Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until combined.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- **Prepare the frosting:** In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional).
- Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil and stir for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency, stirring occasionally.
- Beat the chilled frosting with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Immediately frost between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake.
- Sprinkle with shaved chocolate.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
