Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease three round 9‑inch cake pans. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix only until just combined. Evenly divide the batter among the three pans. Bake for 35 minutes or until the cakes are set. Let the cakes cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Glaze: Beat the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) until smooth.

  3. 3

    Assembly: Cut two 9‑inch round rings from cardboard. Wrap them in foil. Spread a little glaze on one of the cardboard rings and attach the first cake to it (this helps it stay in place). Stack the cakes one on another, spreading glaze between each layer, then wrap the outside and top. Chill for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Chocolate coating: Spread the chocolate chips in a wide jelly‑roll pan. Place the other cardboard on top of the cooled cake. Holding the ends of the cardboard, roll the cake in the chocolate chips, gently pressing so they stick (see video).
