Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (I use Duncan Hines)
  • 1 (4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding
  • 1¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs

For the ganache frosting:

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (I use Ghiradelli)
  • ½ cup whole milk (can also sub heavy whipping cream or half-and-half)
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

For the cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding, milk, and eggs with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes our clean.
  • Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Let cake cool completely before drizzling with ganache.

For the ganache frosting:

  • Place chocolate chips into a small, microwave-safe bowl. Cook in microwave for 30 seconds and give it a stir. Cook for 30 more seconds or until chocolate is just melted and give it a final stir.
  • Pour milk over chocolate and gently stir until it reaches a silky smooth consistency. Immediately drizzle ganache over top of the cooled cake.
