1.
Make the Custard: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of milk, sugar, and salt. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining ½ cup of milk with tapioca flour, eggs, and vanilla.

Slowly whisk about 1/3 of the hot milk into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. Then pour everything back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for about 2 minutes, until thickened.

Make the Ganache: In a double boiler (or heatproof bowl over simmering water), melt chocolate and cream together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the chilled custard evenly on top. Add the second cake layer, then pour the chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
