Description

Try this irresistible Chocolate Brownie Bundt Cake recipe with fudgy texture and rich ganache for chocolate lovers everywhere.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Chunk recommended)

  • 18.3 ounces fudge brownie mix

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 1/4 cups water

  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark)

For the Ganache:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 cups chocolate chips


Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare Pan:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan thoroughly to ensure easy release.

  • Mix Cake and Brownie Bases:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and fudge brownie mix evenly.

  • Add Wet Ingredients:
    Add the eggs, water, vegetable oil, and mayonnaise to the dry mixes. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well blended. The mayonnaise adds moisture and richness, making the cake tender.

  • Fold in Chocolate Chips:
    Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed but not overmixed.

  • Pour Batter into Pan:
    Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Oven times may vary, so start checking at 50 minutes.

  • Cool:
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Prepare Ganache:
    While the cake cools, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

  • Glaze the Cake:
    Drizzle the ganache evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Slice the bundt cake and serve. The combination of fudgy brownie texture with the lighter chocolate cake and silky ganache makes for an irresistible treat.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor in both the cake and ganache.

Mayo might seem unusual but it keeps the cake incredibly moist without adding a noticeable tang.

Don’t overbake; brownies especially dry out quickly. Use a toothpick test starting around 50 minutes.
