Easy & Delicious Chocolate Cake

This recipe is incredibly easy – and it adapts to any type of cake you would like to make. I use the basics of this recipe for my Lemon Cake. I use Lemon Pudding in the Lemon Cake, chocolate pudding in chocolate and vanilla pudding with all other cake mixes. No fail, guaranteed, every time! Deliciously moist and wonderful!
Ingredients:



For Cake:

1 boxed chocolate cake mix, I use Devil’s Food
1 box instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
¾ cup water
¾ cup oil


For Ganache Icing:
12 oz Package of chocolate chips
Heavy Cream

Directions:

Mix all cake ingredients in mixer, or with hand held electric mixer. Approximately two minutes to thoroughly blend all ingredients.


Bake time according to cake mix directions on package. I usually bake in a bundt pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.


After cake cools, warm a little bit of heavy cream in a saucepan. About 1/3 cup. Pour chocolate chips into warmed cream and stir until melted. If needed add a little more cream. You want the mixture to be thick, but not like fudge. But, also not too thin because you want it to cling to the cake and not run off all over the cake plate.


Let cool, slice and enjoy!
