Not more than a week before my friend passed away, we were discussing our favorite kinds of cake. The uproar over the “box mix” in the cake discussion was entertaining to both of us.
She declared, “For the next three recipes, I’m going to prepare cake mixes.” I believe the inspiration for this originated from a Facebook user’s negative reaction to her use of a cake mix. I admire how she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. I knew I had to try this recipe of Granny’s as soon as I found it. Both cake and brownie mixes were included in the package. There is no greater insanity in my mind.
Making a chocolate brownie from scratch
Only the specified ingredients should be added. Disregard the mixing box’s implied usage.
Make sure there are no clumps when you bake by sifting my cake and brownie mixes in my bowl.
How much ganache is that? You can keep the rest for ice cream or other desserts if you don’t want to use it all on the cake.
Very little time is required to make this scrumptious dessert. There is a delicate crumb and a silky smoothness. Although milk chocolate ganache is very delicious, semi-sweet chocolate is my personal favorite.
This cake-shaped brownie is opulent, moist, and supple, and it’s made with genuine chocolates, but it’s so simple to make that it’s ridiculous. The chocolatey center is chewy, and the exterior is crisp.
Are you saying that there is brownie cake involved?! Very few dishes have the dual merits of being both ridiculously tasty and ridiculously simple to prepare. I use this recipe if I want to wow guests or just enjoy a sweet treat at home.
This dish is a breeze to prepare, taking only a few minutes from start to finish, and the end result tastes like a little bit of heaven. Oh! The sour-sweet chocolate ganache that comes with it is the icing on the cake.
The chocolate brownie cake’s crackly crust is the result of baking the brownie mixture to a particularly high temperature. You might think you’re eating a brownie, but this is even better because the center is incredibly fudgy and tastes like warm chocolates while the crust is evocative of meringue.
The cake’s set comes from the whipped eggs, even though the chocolate brownie batter is the main ingredient. In addition to contributing to the cake’s weight and height, they are responsible for making the signature crispy crust that encases the cake’s soft inside.
Ignore the instructions on the box mix and only use the ingredients listed below while preparing this dish. This is a recipe I plan to try this weekend, and I hope you will, too!
Ingredients
For the cake:
1 box of cake mix, chocolate
1 box of brownie mix, fudge
Four big eggs
1 ¼ cup of water
oil, one cup
For Ganache:
12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and one cup of heavy whipped cream
Making the Cake:
Step1:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bakeware should be buttered or sprayed with baking spray before use.
Step 2:
Whisk the cake ingredients together in a large bowl until there are no lumps in the batter.
Step 3:
Once the oven has been preheated, pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Set the timer for 50–55 minutes and bake.
Step 4:
After the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before removing it from the pan. The cake should be cooled on a cooling rack for 30 minutes after it has been removed from the oven.
Preparing the Ganache:
Step 5:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat heavy whipping cream for about 2 minutes, until it is just boiling.
Step 6:
Drop chocolate chips cautiously into the hot cream (it may rise up and bubble and this is ok).
Step 7:
After waiting 5 minutes, stir in the crumbs and the cream for approximately a minute, or until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
Step 8:
After the cake has cooled, drizzle it with ganache.

In what ways are chocolate cake and chocolate brownie cakes dissimilar?
When comparing a chocolate cake to a chocolate brownie cake, the primary distinction is in the texture. When comparing a chocolate cake to a chocolate brownie cake, you will notice that the latter is thicker and fudgier while the former is typically more airy and light. Also, compared to traditional chocolate cakes, brownies tend to use less wheat and more chocolate.
In a chocolate brownie recipe, is it okay to use milk chocolate chips instead of semisweet?
A chocolate brownie cake made with milk chocolate chips rather than semisweet chocolate chips is acceptable. Keep in mind, though, that doing so will increase the cake’s sweetness and dull its chocolate flavor. Chomp on semisweet chocolate chips if you want a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.
Can I make a chocolate brownie cake that doesn’t include gluten?

In what manner should I keep a finished brownie cake?
Keeping a chocolate brownie cake at room temperature and in an airtight container for three days is possible. The cake can be kept for a week in the fridge or frozen for three months. To avoid freezer burn, cover the cake tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in aluminum foil.
What about adding nuts to a chocolate brownie cake?
To a chocolate brownie cake? Why, yes, walnuts and pecans are delicious additions. You may easily incorporate them into the mixture and then bake it. You can omit this step if you or a member of your family is allergic to nuts or if you simply don’t like them.
