Ingredients

1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix

1 1/3 c whipping cream

16 oz. chocolate (chips, squares, or other), chopped

2Tbsp. butter

Chocolate dipped strawberries, optional

Directions

Prepare cake mix as per instructions, (2 layers) let cool. Crumble into a large mixing bowl.

In glass bowl, combine cream and butter. Microwave on high 2 minutes, or until at boiling point. Remove, and dump chocolate in all at once. Let sit for 3 minutes, then whisk gently until smooth - this is ganache (do not whisk too briskly, as that will incorporate air bubbles...definitely don’t beat).

Add 1 1/3 c. of ganache to cake, and stir until well combined and the consistency of fudge (you can add a little more ganache if it’s slightly dry).

Line 9” springform pan with plastic wrap. Press cake mixture firmly into prepared pan. Cover with additional wrap, and freeze for 1-2 hours till firm (You can leave it frozen for a few days, till ready to serve). Remove from freezer, and spread remainder of ganche over, letting drizzle down the sides.

Garnish with strawberries dipped in chocolate

Serve with Vanilla Creme Anglaise, Vanilla Ice Cream or a raspberry coulis.

(I make 1/2 the recipe at a time, and pack in an 8” cake pan - freeze the other cake for another time!)
