Something Sweet for Your Sweetie



Devil's Food Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache
1 package Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 package chocolate instant pudding mix(4 serving size)
1/2 cup water
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and then flour pan. Blend all ingredients together in a large bowl; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Chocolate Ganache
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped

Heat cream in saucepan over low heat until hot but not boiling; remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted. Let stand about 5 minutes. Ganache is ready to use when it mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. It will become firm the longer it cools. Pour ganache carefully onto top of cake; spread with large spatula so it flows evenly over top and down to cover side of cake.
