Ingredients
  

Ganache Topping:

  • cup heavy cream
  • 1 ⅓ cups chocolate chips
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 12-inch Bundt pan with Baker's Joy cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla just until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the cake shouldn't be gooey, but it's fine if it's streaked or has moist crumbs. You don't want to overbake!
  • Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.
  • Cool completely, then glaze.
  • For ganache glaze - Heat the cream in a glass bowl until hot but not simmering. Add the chocolate chips and salt. Let sit for 60-90 seconds, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cooled cake and let it drip down the sides of the cake.
  • Cut into slices and serve, preferrably with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • I used Duncan Hines cake mix and Ghirardelli brownie mix.
  • Do not overbake the cake! It will continue to bake after you take it out of the oven, so it's best to err on the side of under-done.
