Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box fudge brownie mix
  • 12 oz (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups (295 milliliters) water
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) oil
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and meticulously coating a bundt pan with non-stick spray or butter-flour mixture to guarantee seamless cake release.
  2. Carefully sift the chocolate cake mix and fudge brownie mix together in a spacious mixing bowl, eliminating potential clumps and creating a uniform dry foundation.
  3. Incorporate liquid ingredients by whisking eggs, water, and oil into the sifted dry mixture, blending thoroughly for approximately two minutes until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
  4. Transfer the velvety batter into the prepared bundt pan, distributing evenly to ensure uniform baking and optimal texture.
  5. Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, monitoring doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge with minimal moist crumbs or completely clean.
  6. After removing from the oven, allow the cake to rest within the pan for five minutes, then delicately invert onto a cooling rack, permitting complete temperature reduction for roughly 30 minutes.
  7. Create luxurious ganache by heating heavy whipping cream until boiling, then introducing semi-sweet chocolate morsels and allowing a five-minute resting period before whisking into a glossy, smooth mixture.
  8. Once the cake has thoroughly cooled, generously drape the ganache across the surface, utilizing a spatula to encourage elegant dripping and complete coverage.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better cake texture and more even mixing.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough, dense cake – mix just until ingredients are combined.
  • Line the bundt pan with parchment paper for easier cake removal and perfect shape.
  • Customize the ganache by adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of coffee liqueur for extra depth of flavor.
