- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two mini loaf pans with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, then alternate adding the dry mixture and buttermilk.
- Fold in chocolate chips into the batter gently.
- Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Create ganache by heating heavy cream until simmering, then pouring it over chopped chocolate. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cakes and top with graham cracker crumbs.
- Make Swiss meringue by whisking egg whites, sugar, and vinegar over simmering water until warm, then beat until glossy peaks form.
- Spread meringue over cakes and gently toast with a kitchen torch until golden brown.
