Chocolate Brownie Cake with Ganache
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 box fudge brownie mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup oil
For the Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 bag (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
How To Make Chocolate Brownie Cake:
Step 1: Preparing the Cake
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a bundt pan by using bakers spray or the butter/flour method.
- In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, fudge brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Whisk the ingredients for about 2 minutes or until most lumps are gone.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Once done baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for up to five minutes. Carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack and cool for an additional 30 minutes.
For the Ganache:
- Place the heavy whipping cream in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 2 minutes until it just starts to boil.
- Carefully pour the chocolate morsels into the hot cream. It may bubble, and that’s okay.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Whisk the chocolate and cream until smooth and shiny, which takes about 1 minute.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that the bundt pan is thoroughly greased to prevent sticking.
- Allow the cake to cool sufficiently before applying the ganache to avoid it melting into the cake.
- Experiment with toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
