Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare each cake mix as directed in separate bowls and set to the side.
  • Heavily grease a large bundt pan with shortening or butter.
  • Begin to add the prepared cake batter one at a time. Add only ½ of the batter for each flavor, working in layers.
  • Repeat for the second layer of each flavor in the bundt pan.
  • Lightly tap the pan on a counter to allow the batter to settle and to remove any air bubbles.
  • Place the pan on a baking sheet and place it in the oven.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes.
  • Use a large skewer like a large toothpick to verify the cake is fully cooked. Bake for 5-7 additional minutes if needed.
  • Cool to room temperature before inverting onto the serving plate and decorating.

Ganache

  • Add the heavy cream to a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
  • Pour the heated heavy cream over the chocolate chips and allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes before whisking it until smooth.
  • Gradually pour the ganache over the cake.

Vanilla Glaze

  • Combine the confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Drizzle the vanilla glaze on top of the chocolate ganache.
