1

Make the Chocolate Truffle

Begin by preparing the decadent chocolate truffle for your cake. Melt 200g of dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Once melted and smooth, slowly whisk in 200ml of heavy cream until well combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

2

Add the Pop Rocks

Now it's time to add a touch of surprise to your truffle. Sprinkle 1 packet (10g) of Pop Rocks candy into the cooled chocolate truffle mixture. Gently stir to evenly distribute the Pop Rocks. Brace yourself for some popping fun!

Bake the Cake Layers

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1¾ cups of granulated sugar, ¾ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, 1½ teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, ½ cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake layers to cool completely.

Assemble the Cake

Once the cake layers are cool, it's time to bring everything together. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of the Pop Rock-infused chocolate truffle mixture on top. Carefully place the second cake layer on top. Pour the remaining chocolate truffle mixture over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Smooth the top using an offset spatula. Add extra Pop Rocks on top for a dazzling final touch.
