Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
I used half of each box and it made a normal amount of cake. Feel free to use the entire boxes, for 2 9×13 pans.

In one bowl I mixed the Cake mix, splitting the ingredients in half accordingly.

In another bowl I mixed the Brownie Batter, splitting the ingredients accordingly…

It would appear that those two steps are important. I mixed halved dry and added ingredients in the same bowl. I think the separate bowls allow you to then gently swirl to combine them in sort of a ribboned fashion rather than blended together. A combo of dense and lighter textures when done.



Combine both mixing bowls into the baking pan and bake it at 350 degrees, for approx. 30 minutes or until it’s baked through.

Opt for less done than more done. I think mine was overdone as the toothpick came out clean and it had slightly pulled away from the edges. It was dry. So go for just shy of that I think.

Let it cool and gently poke some holes into it with a fork…

Probably let it cool COMPLETELY. I got a little impatient and it was still warm, what happens then is that as you poke holes in the cake with a fork, it pulls up some of the top layer and looks a little boogared up, but that's not really the end of the world once you pour stuff on it.


Now pour the included Ganache all over the top of the cake…

So my off-brand came with a packet of Hershey's syrup...about a quarter of a cup or less...not nearly enough and not very good. I then put a jar of Smucker's Chocolate Fudge Topping on it...still...it's not ganache. You need to buy the same brands of brownie and cake mix that she used. DRAT!


…and serve up a big, moist plate full…


Prepare your lips for the best cake they’ve ever seen! ~Enjoy!
