how to make Triple Chocolate Tuxedo Cake

Ingredients :

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions :

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in boiling water until the batter is thin.
Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and divide the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cakes for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, whip cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Layer the cake with whipped cream and sprinkle with white chocolate chips between layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream, adding more chocolate and white chocolate chips as garnish.
Chill in the refrigerator before serving.
