Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake

Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake

I am starting your week off with a delicious, moist and borderline decadent Dark Chocolate Ganache covered cake recipe. It is sometimes hard to believe that a pod from a tree can result in such a delicious recipe. The cacao tree gifted us with its cacao pods and when processed they turn into cocoa powder or cocoa butter. I am a happy Taste of Home blogger and this ganache yumminess is sure to be a big hit!

What You Need

For The Cake

Dark Chocolate boxed cake mix ( Like duncan hines classic dark chocolate fudge cake mix)

1 Cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 Eggs

Ganche frosting-

16 ounces bittersweet chocolate ( chopped)

2 Cups heavy whipping cream

5 tsp. Light corn syrup

Before You Start-

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cake pan according to directions.

Lets make it! Prepare cake according to directions set aside to cool for 10 minutes then remove from cake pan and place on serving plate.

Add chocolate pieces to a large mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; stir with a spoon or whisk until smooth.

Let stand at room temperature to cool and thicken slightly, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Mixture will be very soft, but will thicken when spread onto cake.)

Spread ( pour) ganache over the top and sides of the cake.

  1. Yum! This looks delicious and I love a gluten and dairy free version–made with Betty Crocker’s gluten free cake mix and dairy free ganache. (made with 70% cacao chocolate and non dairy creamer) Thanks for the inspiration! Aloha, Lori

    1. Oh that is a miserable, ( I know, trust me) Have you been to the website ” kids with food allergies ,org” It has some egg substitute suggestions. Maybe you could use the ganache over a cake you can make egg free or with an egg substitute. Hugs!
