Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, oil, beer and mix until smooth.
- Add cake mix and mix and mix until just combined.
- Pour batter in two greased/ floured round cake pans (Dimensions: 8x2). Spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool down completely.
- While the cakes are baking and cooking, prepare the chocolate frosting, following the recipe above.
- Place one cake on a cake board (same size as the cake).
- Spread frosting on top of the cake.
- Place the other cake on top of the frosting and gently press it to hold it into place.
- Ice the entire cake in a thin coating of frosting. This is called a "crumb coat" just to seal the crumbs together. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- While the frosted cake is chilling, prepare the thick ganache by adding equal parts of heavy cream and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 30 second increments, mixing often, until smooth and creamy.
- Place a cooling rack on a cookie tray. Place the cake on top of the rack. Don't remove its base board.
- Pour ganache on top of the cake and spread it all around the top and let it drip along the sides. Use a spatula to cover it entirely in a ganache coating.
- When ganache is no longer dripping at the bottom, remove it from the rack and place it on a cake stand or serving plate.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Frost swirls of chocolate frosting around the top of the cake.
- Decorate with chocolate rolls and sprinkle chocolate curls around the base of the cake. Enjoy!
