Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake batter)
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon butter (for shine, optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan well to prevent sticking.
- Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
2. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Make the Ganache:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Add butter for extra shine.
4. Assemble & Serve:
- Pour the warm ganache over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides beautifully.
- Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips while the ganache is still wet.
- Let set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
This Death by Chocolate Bundt Cake is a showstopper and tastes as incredible as it looks! Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect dessert experience. Enjoy! 🍫🍰
