How to make the double chocolate layer cake.

First, prepare the three layers of cocoa brownies. The recipe for the cocoa brownies is easy and quick to prepare. For the batter you won’t even need an electric hand mixer. A whisk and a medium bowl will do. Beat eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Add oil and mix to combine. Sift the flour and cocoa powder and beat again until a uniform mixture is obtained. Divide the batter evenly on three greased pans and bake until brown. The cocoa powder gives a rich and decadent intense chocolate flavor. The oil moisturizes and keeps the layers of the cake moist even when the cake is refrigerated.

Prepare the chocolate cream cheese frosting and start assembling the cake. Fill the brownie cake layers with the chocolate coating. Spread icing also on the top and edges of the cake and smooth the surface. Refrigerate the cake at this point to let it set.

Decorate the cake with chocolate ganache to add another layer of chocolate indulgence. Also add some blueberries and dust some with edible gold powder to add a touch of elegance. This cake is definitely a must try for any chocolate lover.

A great thing about this cake is that it can be made ahead of time and frozen for later, making it perfect for busy bakers.
