Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 1 cup oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 box fudge brownie mix
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mixing Dry Ingredients: Sift chocolate cake mix and brownie mix together in a large mixing bowl, eliminating any potential lumps for a smooth texture.
- Combining Wet and Dry Components: Incorporate eggs, water, and vegetable oil into the dry mixture, whisking vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the batter achieves a uniform, silky consistency.
- Baking Process: Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring an even distribution, and bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center reveals minimal moist crumbs.
- Cooling Stage: Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely for an additional 30 minutes.
- Ganache Creation: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it reaches a gentle boil, then remove from heat and add chocolate morsels. Let sit briefly before whisking into a glossy, smooth ganache.
- Finishing Touch: Once the cake has cooled entirely, drizzle the warm ganache over the top, allowing it to elegantly cascade down the cake’s sides.
Notes
- Measure Ingredients Precisely: Use exact measurements to ensure the perfect texture and consistency of your brownie cake.
- Room Temperature Matters: Let eggs and other refrigerated ingredients sit out for 30 minutes before mixing to create a smoother batter.
- Prevent Sticking Carefully: Grease the bundt pan thoroughly, paying extra attention to all crevices to easily release the cake.
- Ganache Timing is Critical: Pour the ganache when it’s warm but not hot, allowing it to set beautifully without sliding off the cake completely.
