5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing them onto wire racks to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache Filling

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
2. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth and fluffy.

4. Gradually pour in the cooled chocolate ganache, beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving platter or cake stand.
2. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache over the top of the cake layer.
3. Place a second cake layer on top and repeat the process with another layer of ganache.
4. Place the final cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the chocolate frosting, spreading it evenly over the top and sides.
5. If desired, garnish the cake with whipped cream and additional chocolate chips.
