Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 1 box 15.25 oz chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box 18.3 oz fudge brownie mix
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups water room temperature
  • 1 cup 218 g vegetable oil

For the Ganache:

  • 1 cup 238 g heavy whipping cream
  • 1 bag 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

For the Cake:

    Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

    Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, fudge brownie mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil.
    • Whisk the ingredients together for about 2 minutes until most of the lumps are gone.

    Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
    • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs but no wet batter.

    Cool the Cake:

    • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for up to 10 minutes.
    • Carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack and let it cool for about 30 more minutes.

    For the Ganache:

      Heat the Cream:

      • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the heavy whipping cream.
      • Heat the cream for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until it is simmering.

      Make the Ganache:

      • Pour the chocolate chips into the hot cream and let it sit for 5 minutes.
      • After 5 minutes, whisk the chocolate and cream together until the ganache is smooth and shiny (about 1 minute).

      Pour the Ganache:

      • Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the ganache over the top of the cake.

      Serve:

      • Slice and serve the cake. Enjoy!

      Notes

      • The cake can be served immediately after pouring the ganache, or you can let it set for a bit to allow the ganache to firm up slightly.
      • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
