Put in the oven. If you have a muffin or cupcake tin, you will leave them for 15-19 minutes. If you have a cake pan, it will be 25-35 minutes. Check up on them periodically and change time accordingly

Once the time is up, remove the cake and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

After cooling remove the cake from the pan. Grab the knife and cutting board.

Cut the mounded top of the cake/muffins. If needed cut the cake in half horizontally to make 1/2-1 inch slabs.

Arrange the stacks on wax paper about an inch or two away from one another.

I don't have a double boiler so I'm making do with a pot of boiling water and a bowl. Put chocolate chips into the bowl and melt them into a chocolate sauce.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the chocolate sauce to make it less dense and flow better.

Once the chocolate is ready pour it over the stacks separately.

Once all of the stacks have been drizzled, place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. It's best if they're left overnight.
