Heaven On Earth Cake

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
2. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Filling

1. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
2. Add the vanilla extract and cream cheese (if using), and continue whipping until smooth and fluffy.
3. Refrigerate the cream filling until ready to assemble the cake.

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Ganache

1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.
2. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
3. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add butter for extra shine and richness. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring.

Step 5: Assemble the Heaven On Earth Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the cream filling evenly on top.
2. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining cream filling evenly.
3. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful effect.
4. Smooth the ganache with a spatula or leave it rustic for a more dramatic look.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

1. Sprinkle chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts on top for a decorative touch.
2. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set the ganache and cream.
3. Slice and serve to enjoy a truly heavenly experience.

Tips for Success

• Use high-quality chocolate for a richer ganache.
• Room temperature ingredients help the cake batter mix evenly.
• Do not overwhip the cream filling, as it can become grainy.
• Serve slightly chilled for the best texture and flavor contrast.
