Ingredients

Cake Layers:

1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup water
2 eggs
2 (20 ounce) boxes Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix

Ganache:

1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips
1 cup Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
1 cup Ghirardelli Classic White Chips
2 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
¾ cup light corn syrup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
Blend oil, water, and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in brownie mix until moistened. Divide batter evenly into the 3 prepared pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 38 to 40 minutes. Cool cakes completely before removing from pans.
For ganache: Place each type of chocolate chips into separate bowls.
Heat cream in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals until it just boils. Immediately pour 3/4 cup cream over each type of chocolate chips; stir until chocolate melts. Add 1/4 cup corn syrup to each; stir until shiny.
Let cool 2 hours before whipping with an electric mixer until fluffy.
Stack cooled brownie cake layers on a plate, spreading a different variety of ganache between each layer. Serve chilled.
