- 4 large eggs
- 1¼ cups water
- 1 cup oil
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate morsels or chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease a bundt pan well with butter or non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the chocolate cake mix and fudge brownie mix.
Add the eggs, water, and oil.
Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
3. Bake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
4. Cool the Cake
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack.
Let it cool completely before adding the ganache.
5. Prepare the Ganache
Heat the heavy whipping cream until hot but not boiling.
Add the chocolate morsels and let sit for a few minutes.
Whisk until smooth, glossy, and creamy.
6. Decorate
Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip naturally over the sides.
