Chocolate Bundt Cake w/ Ganache

I must admit everytime I make a BUNDT cake,

I can't help but think of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING,
and laugh while making!

Thank you Sanda Lee for this recipe... I make often and it is ALWAYS a hit!

Cake:

1 box chocolate cake mix (I like dark chocolate cakes)

1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding

1 cup water

4 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Ganache:

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Cake

• preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


• spray bunt pan with a non-stick spray


• combine cake mix, budding, water, eggs, and oil in large bowl. Beat for 2 minutes


• Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips


• Transfer batter to Bundt pan


• Bake for 45 min or until toothpick inserted near center of cake comes out clean.


• Cool cake in pan on cooling rack for 15 min.


• Invert cake onto cooling rack, cool completely

Ganache (my favorite thing EVER)

• Heat cream in small saucepan over low heat until small bubbles appear.


• remove from heat and add the chocolate chips to cream and stir until smooth


• cool ganache just until slightly warm


• Pour ganache over cooled cake


• Transfer cake to serving platter


• Garnish with additional chocolate chips

I like to use the extra ganache for serving, (I warm up for 30 seconds in microwave) you can drizzle the plate or even better, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the cake and drizzle warm ganache over the ice cream!
