Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk the egg yolks with sugar, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Whipping

  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy.

  • Allow the cake to cool completely.

Slicing

Ganache Preparation

  • For the dark chocolate ganache, heat the cream and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit briefly, then stir until smooth.
  • For the white chocolate ganache, heat the cream and pour it over the white chocolate, milk chocolate, and butter. Stir until creamy and fully melted.

Assemble the Cake

  • Layer the cake with dark chocolate ganache and white chocolate ganache, alternating between layers.
  • Frost the top with whipped cream, then chill the cake for 1 hour.
  • Finish with melted chocolate glaze and decorate with chocolate chips or shavings.
