Let’s make it.
Mix the batter
Whisk eggs, milk, oil and vanilla separately. Stir into the dry ingredients, then carefully stir in the hot water. The batter will be quite fluid.
Bake
Divide between the tins and bake for 25–32 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Start checking at 25 minutes.
Cool
Leave in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn onto a rack and cool completely before assembling.
Make ganache
Warm the cream until steaming, pour over the chopped ganache chocolate, wait 2 minutes and stir until smooth. Leave until spreadable.
Finish with milk chocolate
Sandwich the cooled layers with the thicker milk-chocolate ganache. Cover the top and scatter with the chocolate shavings.
A helpful little detail
Milk chocolate makes a softer ganache, so this version uses less cream. Let it thicken before spreading.
Keeping it lovely
Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring slices toward room temperature before serving.
Allergens
Wheat, milk and eggs. Chocolate and flavour toppings may contain soy or nuts. Always check your own ingredient labels.
