Grandma’s Chocolate Brownie Cake

By Food Blogger Post a Comment

When you were a kid, did your grandma have any secret recipes that she’d only pull out on special occasions? Chances are, the answer is a resounding yes—and those recipes were probably all of the family favorites. It’s no secret that when your grandma makes her favorite recipes, everyone in the family is going to want seconds. Although this rule definitely holds true for dinner recipes as well, the effect is twofold when it comes to dessert.

Grandma’s Chocolate Brownie Cake


Ingredients


Cake:



  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix

  • 1 box of fudge brownie mix

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 1/4 cups of water

  • 1 cup of oil


Ganache:



  • 1 cup of heavy whipping cream

  • 1 12-ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions


1. Before getting started, make sure you preheat your oven to 350 degrees. After that, get out a Bundt pan and spray it down with cooking spray (or use butter and flour).


2. With your equipment prepared, mix together your chocolate cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, water and oil in a large mixing bowl. Whisk it all up for about two minutes, taking as many lumps out as possible so that the batter is nice and smooth.


3. When the batter is ready, pour it into the Bundt pan and put it in the oven to bake for about 50 to 55 minutes. When the time is up, do the toothpick test to be sure the cake is done. Let it sit in the pan for about five minutes before carefully turning it over onto a cooling rack. Leave it there for about 30 minutes.


4. With the cake itself done, you can now get started on making your ganache. First, get a microwave safe bowl and pour your heavy whipping cream into it. Microwave it for about 2 minutes so that the cream is only just boiling.


5. After that, pour your chocolate chips into the bowl as well—if the mixture begins to froth and rise up at this point, this is normal. Let it all sit together for about five minutes before whisking the chocolate and the cream together. Keep doing this until it’s well-incorporated, shiny and smooth throughout.


6. With all the ingredients done, pour your ganache over the cake when it’s cooled and you’re ready to serve!
