Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

Blend oil, water, and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in brownie mix until moistened. Divide batter evenly into the 3 prepared pans.

Step 3

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 38 to 40 minutes. Cool cakes completely before removing from pans.

Step 4

For ganache: Place each type of chocolate chips into separate bowls.

Step 5

Heat cream in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals until it just boils. Immediately pour 3/4 cup cream over each type of chocolate chips; stir until chocolate melts. Add 1/4 cup corn syrup to each; stir until shiny.

Step 6

Let cool 2 hours before whipping with an electric mixer until fluffy.

Step 7

Stack cooled brownie cake layers on a plate, spreading a different variety of ganache between each layer. Serve chilled.
