TIPS AND FAQS

You can use any type of chocolate cake mix that you like.  I prefer the triple chocolate to make the richest tasting cake. 

When making your chocolate ganache, semi sweet chocolate chips make a less sweet ganache, and milk chocolate would make a sweeter ganache.  

If you want to take the decorations of the cake up a notch or two, top with fresh berries and whipped cream, or chocolate shavings or ribbons. 

If you do not want to grease and flour the bundt pan, make sure that you use Pam baking spray instead.   Baking spray has the flour included and will help your cake come out smoothly.  Do not use regular Pam spray.   That will still stick.
