Chocolate Ganache Drip Cake is a chocolate lover’s dream!

Devil’s food pudding cake filled with chocolate chunks and dripping with chocolate ganache this perfectly simple chocolate cake recipe that tastes like you’ve been in the kitchen all day making it completely from scratch but takes only minutes to whip up!
Semi homemade and simple
It’s super easy but after eating it people think that I slaved away in the kitchen all day to bake a delicious, all-from-scratch cake. Then they ask for the recipe and I have to give up and admit that it’s really just a gussied up boxed cake.
Ingredients
- Devil’s Food cake mix – chocolate cake mix you like
- 3.4 ounce box of instant chocolate pudding
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sour cream – full fat
- canola oil
- large eggs
- Chocolate ganache – to glaze the cake or cupcakes
Step by step instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Crack the eggs into your mixing bowl and give it a little stir.
- Add the rest of the liquid ingredients {water, oil, and sour cream} and mix until combined.
- Add the powder ingredients {cake mix and pudding mix}. Stir until smooth.
- Add chocolate chips {I like to put a whole 12 ounce bag but you could do 6-12 ounces} and stir by hand, making sure to thoroughly mix the stuff on the bottom if you’re using a stand mixer because sometimes it will not incorporate everything completely.
- Now pour the mix into a greased and powdered bundt pan {I like to use a little of the leftover cake mix in the bag to powder the pan, or you can use flour or cocoa powder}
- Once cooked, remove to rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare chocolate ganache for glaze with a 2 part chocolate to 1 part cream ratio.
- When cake is cool place on wire rack lined baking sheet.
- Pour glaze over for perfect chocolate ganache drip cake.
- Enjoy!
