Chocolate Brownie Cake

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 1 box fudge brownie mix
• 4 large eggs
• 1+1/4 cup water
• 1 cup oil

For the Ganache:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Instructions

Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Prepare a bundt pan by spraying with baker’s spray or using the butter and flour method to ensure the cake does not stick.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, fudge brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Whisk together for about 2 minutes or until most of the lumps are gone and the batter is well combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
6. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for up to five minutes.
7. After cooling slightly, carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool for an additional 30 minutes.

Ganache:

1. Place the heavy whipping cream in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 2 minutes on high, or until the cream is just boiling. Be careful to avoid overflow.
2. Carefully pour the chocolate morsels into the hot cream. The mixture may bubble up; this is normal.
3. Let the chocolate and cream sit for a minute or two, then stir slowly with a whisk or spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Allow the ganache to cool slightly; it should thicken but still be pourable.
5. Once the cake has cooled and the ganache has thickened, pour the ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
6. Let the ganache set for a few minutes before serving.

Serve your Chocolate Brownie Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
