Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
  • 1 3.9-ounce box instant chocolate pudding mix (we used instant chocolate fudge flavor pudding)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Butter and flour to prepare a 10” Bundt pan
  • 1 cup half and half or heavy cream
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Rum

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix all cake ingredients except chips with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Butter and flour a 10” Bundt pan, tapping out any loose flour.
  • Pour batter into pan spreading evenly.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes in center of oven until a tooth pick poked into the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes then invert onto a cooling rack. Cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer cake to a serving plate.
  • Make the ganache after the cake has cooled. Heat cream to hot and remove from heat just as it begins to start to boil. Do not let it boil.
  • Add chocolate and let sit five minutes then stir with a whisk to melt all of the chocolate.
  • Add butter and rum and whisk. Cool slightly, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the ganache over the cake covering as much of the surface as possible, letting the ganche drip down the sides of the cake.
  • Cut into slices to serve.
