Here’s what you’ll need:
Cake:
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- 1 box of fudge brownie mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups of water
- 1 cup of oil
Ganache:
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 1 12-ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Here’s what you do:
1. Before getting started, make sure you preheat your oven
to 350 degrees. After that, get out a Bundt pan and spray it down with cooking
spray (or use butter and flour).
2. With your equipment prepared, mix together your chocolate
cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, water and oil in a large mixing bowl. Whisk it all
up for about two minutes, taking as many lumps out as possible so that the
batter is nice and smooth.
3. When the batter is ready, pour it into the Bundt pan and
put it in the oven to bake for about 50 to 55 minutes. When the time is up, do
the toothpick test to be sure the cake is done. Let it sit in the pan for about
five minutes before carefully turning it over onto a cooling rack. Leave it
there for about 30 minutes.
4. With the cake itself done, you can now get started on
making your ganache. First, get a microwave safe bowl and pour your heavy
whipping cream into it. Microwave it for about 2 minutes so that the cream is
only just boiling.
5. After that, pour your chocolate chips into the bowl as
well—if the mixture begins to froth and rise up at this point, this is normal.
Let it all sit together for about five minutes before whisking the chocolate
and the cream together. Keep doing this until it’s well-incorporated, shiny and
smooth throughout.
6. With all the ingredients done, pour your ganache over the
cake when it’s cooled and you’re ready to serve!
Although the process of actually making this recipe is
incredibly simple, the results are decadent and delicious. Combining the mixes
leads to a cake that is both spongy, moist and firm at the same time—and the
melted chocolate on top only takes everything up to the next level. While the
recipe itself shouldn’t be altered too much, you can experiment with what kinds
of cake and brownie mixes you use in the beginning. Obviously, the higher
quality the chocolate, the better. Give this recipe a try and let us know what
you think!
