• 1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2/3 cup condensed milk
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350°f.
• 2 grease a 9 inch pie plate and place in a baking dish with a lip.
• 3 for filling:.
• 4 heat cream to just below a simmer.
• 5 beat remaining ingredients until smooth.
• 6 slowly beat in hot cream until evenly blended.
• 7 pour mixture into prepared pie plate and pour boiling water around pie plate (create a water bath).
• 8 bake 20-25 minutes until set.
• 9 let cool to room temperature then chill custard in pie plate completely.
• 10 for cake:.
• 11 grease a 9 inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
• 12 grease again and dust lightly with flour.
• 13 heat milk and butter until butter is melted and keep warm.
• 14 whip eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale yellow then add vanilla.
• 15 sift flour and baking powder together.
• 16 add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating on low until just blended.
• 17 increase speed to medium and pour in hot milk and butter mixture, mixing until just blended.
• 18 scrape into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre of cake comes out clean.
• 19 let cool 15 minutes then turn out onto plate, peel off parchment, then invert (so top is up) onto a rack to cool completely.
• 20 to assemble:.
• 21 slice cake into 2 layers.
• 22 stir chilled custard to smooth and spread over bottom layer. (you'll want to work quickly so it doesn't melt, if it does begin to soften, i would place it in the fridge before putting the top layer on because the top layer will make it ooze everywhere).
• 23 top with second layer and chill while preparing glaze.
• 24 for chocolate glaze:.
• 25 stir condensed milk and chocolate in a pot over medium low heat until melted and shiny.
• 26 spread glaze over cake.
• 27 chill until ready to serve.
