Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake

Guys.....

YOU GUYS!

You don't understand how much I LOVE this cake. This has been my go to recipe for the last 3.5 years. I bake this cake for every occassion. It is so moist and tender, and the chocolate ganache is so so soooo good.

I'm not a frosting person, unless it's homemade, and even then, sometimes I'm not a fan. This chocolate ganache is just enough. It's creamy and sweet, and most important of all, chocolatey! I really do encourage any and every one of you to try this recipe, you will NOT be disappointed.

I made this cake a few months ago for my husband to take to work, and everyone loved it. One of his supervisors took a bite and couldn't believe it was a homemade cake. He said, "I just don't understand how she did this" HAHAHA, too funny, but SERIOUSLY. GUYS. It's REALLY REALLY that good!

Let's not put it off any longer, here's the recipe.... it would make a great easter dessert ;)

----Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake----

for the cake:
1 box Devil's food cake
1 small box chocolate pudding mix
2 cups of sour cream (16 oz)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup veg. oil

for the ganache:
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips (half a bag)
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup milk

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Using a paper towel, rub a small amount of room temperature butter inside your bundt pan. Just a very light coat is perfect. Then, you can use either flour, cocoa powder, or a tbsp of your choc cake mix to dust the inside of the bundt cake. Again, a very light coat. Tap out any excess. I turned my pan upside down and tapped it on the sink, even after this picture below.

*I used cocoa powder. If you do decide to use flour, be sure to shake and spread it around very lightly, and tap as much excess out as you can. The white flour, will stand out against the brown cake, and it will be a bit more noticeable when it's done baking. Still tastes perfectly fine!*

Then, in a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil, and milk. Mix on low until well incorporated, and lumps are gone. I mixed mine with my Kitchen Aid on speed 2, for 2 minutes. Then pour into your greased & dusted pan, and bake for 50-55 minutes.

Once the cake is done baking, and a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs (not wet) leave it cooling in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out on a cooling rack to cool for an additional 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, start a double boiler. Keep the heat on low, and make sure your water isn't touching the bottom of your bowl. Add the chocolate chips, and a minute or two later, the milk and butter, and stir.

Stir every minute or so, just to be sure the chocolate is slowly melting. Once the chocolate is smooth and shiny, it is ready to be poured over the cake.

You can pour the ganache over the cake however you'd like, I like to pour it, and spread it evenly with a small spatula. (That way you get some creamy chocolate in every bite!! :) )

VOILA! So simple, and so tasty! I hope y'all enjoy!!

I'll have some Easter treats coming soon! ;)
