4. **Chill:**
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until the pudding is fully set.
5. **Prepare the ganache:**
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan just until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
6. **Top the cake:**
Pour the ganache over the chilled cake, spreading it into an even layer. Chill again for at least 30 minutes before serving.

### Tips for the Best Results:
* For a deeper flavor, use French vanilla or custard pudding.
* Want a homemade touch? Bake your favorite from-scratch yellow cake instead of using a mix.
* Let the cake chill overnight for maximum flavor and moisture.
* Slice with a warm knife for clean, bakery-style cuts.
