- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 350g caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 90g brown sugar
- 240g butter, melted, cooled
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 500ml buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the frosting
- 350g unsalted butter, softened, cut into cubes
- 140g brown sugar
- 550g icing sugar
- 1 cup (150 grams) plain flour, toasted in a pan over high heat for 2-3 minutes to remove any bacteria
- 1/4 cup (60 millilitres) milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 200g mini chocolate chips
For the toppings
- 4-5 pieces of your favourite cookies
For the ganache
- 185g chocolate

Method
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Make a well in the centre and add the remaining ingredients. Whisk until smooth and combined.
- Divide the batter equally amongst the three 15cm silicone cake tins**. One at a time microwave the cakes on full power for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit until completely cooled.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the butter and brown sugar and cream until light and fluffy. Add the icing sugar & toasted flour and mix on high speed for 2 minutes, add the milk and whip for a further minute on high speed. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Assemble the cake on the serving platter starting with the bottom layer, a 1/3 of the frosting then repeat with the remaining layers. Place in the fridge whilst you make the ganache.
- Place the cream into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high heat, add the chocolate and whisk until combined and smooth.
- Remove the cake from the fridge and pour the ganache over the top of the cake and allow to drip down the sides, top with the crushed biscuits.
Notes
**Warning: Do NOT put metal cake tins in the microwave!! You must use microwave safe cake tins, such as silicone ones.
