A rich and decadent chocolate cake that combines the best of brownies and cake, drizzled with a homemade chocolate ganache for the ultimate indulgence. Perfect for chocolate lovers!

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Cake:
  • 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (any chocolate cake mix, preferably with pudding in the mix, such as Betty Crocker)
  • 18.3 ounces fudge brownie mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate)
  • For the Ganache:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, water, oil, and mayonnaise. Stir or mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Lightly spray a 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  6. Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before removing it to finish cooling on a cooling rack.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming.
  8. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
  9. Whisk the cream and chocolate together until smooth and glossy.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the ganache over the cake.
  11. Serve and enjoy the decadence of this brownie cake!

Notes

  • For extra richness, use dark chocolate chips for the ganache.
  • This cake can be served warm with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
  • If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the amount of chocolate chips in the ganache.
