First, preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C).
- 2
Grease the entire pan using either baker's spray or a very thin layer of butter and dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- 3
One chocolate cake mix and one fudge brownie mix should be sifted together in a large mixing bowl.
- 4
Sifting mixes break up any lumps and combine dry ingredients so well that the batter that is formed is easy to work with.
- 5
The result is a dense, fudgy cake with the appeal of a brownie yet the lightness of a cake.
- 6
Add four large eggs, one cup of water, and 1/2 cup of oil to the dry mixture.
- 7
Whisk or electric mix these for about 2 minutes until the batter has become smooth with a shine to it.
- 8
Pour that prepared batter into your prepared bundt pan. With your spatula, spread it to make sure to fill the sides of the pan to achieve the desired shape.
- 9
Bake in a hot oven for about 50 to 55 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- 10
Be careful not to overbake the cakes.
- 11
The cake can remain in the pan for 5 minutes.
- 12
Turn out the bundt pan carefully onto a cooling rack after the standing time, and lift the pan off the cake.
- 13
Allow the cake to cool on the rack for at least 30 minutes to allow it to get to room temperature before placing the ganache.
- 14
For the ganache topping, pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until just boiling.
- 15
Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring. In a saucepan, pour in the milk and whisk well until it smoothes out and shines.
- 16
Pour ganache over the top of the cooled cake. Allow to drip down the sides naturally for a beautiful finish. If needed, use a spatula to coax a smooth ganache on top.
- 17
Rich ganache provides added layers of indulgence to this brownie cake, complementing its fudgy texture with a creamy, luxurious finish.

Slice and serve. Your recipe of Chocolate Brownie Cake should be served with a scoop of vanilla, so that you enjoy the cake in the best possible way.
