Ingredients
Scale
Cake & Brownie Mix
- 1 15.25 oz. chocolate cake mix
- 1 18.3 oz. brownie mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup oil
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Ganache
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the chocolate cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water until the mixture is mostly smooth. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness. Once baked, place the pan on a wire rack and let the cake cool for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto the wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Ganache: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it stand for a few minutes to soften the chocolate. Whisk the mixture until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
- Finish and Serve: Pour the prepared ganache evenly over the cooled bundt cake. Allow the ganache to set slightly before slicing and serving your rich, chocolatey creation.
Notes
- To prevent sticking, ensure the bundt pan is generously greased and floured.
- Check doneness with a toothpick towards the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips in the ganache with chopped chocolate for a smoother texture.
- Serve the cake at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
- Store leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days.
