TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare Cake: Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk together flour and next 3 ingredients. Beat 1 ½ cups butter in a medium bowl at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yolk disappears. Combine 1 ¼ cups buttermilk and next 2 ingredients. Add flour mixture to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed after each addition. Fold in bittersweet chocolate morsels. Pour batter into a well-greased (with shortening) and floured 12-cup Bundt pan. Sharply tap pan on counter to remove air bubbles.
• Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on rack.
• Prepare Chocolate Glaze: Combine semisweet chocolate morsels, 3 Tbsp. butter, and 1 Tbsp. corn syrup in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 1 to 1 ½ minutes or until morsels begin to melt, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Stir in ½ tsp. vanilla.
• Prepare Buttermilk Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp. buttermilk, and ¼ tsp. vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Add up to 1 Tbsp. buttermilk, if desired. Drizzle warm glazes over cooled cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray metal Bundt pan with baking spray.
• In a large bowl beat cake mix, 1 cup water, eggs, 1/3 cup oil and pudding mix with handheld mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Batter will be thick. In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1 tablespoon water, cocoa packet, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil until well combined.
• Spoon batter evenly into Bundt pan, then spoon cocoa mixture on top of batter and swirl together with butter knife or toothpick. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert pan and remove cake, allowing to cool completely on wire rack.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat heavy cream on HIGH 30 to 40 seconds or until hot. Add chocolate chips and stir to coat, then cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit 5 minutes. Using a wire whisk, blend mixture together until smooth. Allow to cool until slightly thickened.
• Place Bundt cake on serving plate or cake stand. Slowly pour ganache around top of cake and drizzle down sides. Slice and serve.
