Instructions

Cake

1. Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.
2. Put milk in a 2 cup measuring cup and heat on high for 1 minute. Add chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes then stir until chocolate is completely melted, set aside to cool.
3. Cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla. Add chocolate mixture and mix again.
4. Combine flour, salt, cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Add to batter and mix just until combined.
5. Make the fudge filling by mixing the cream cheese, melted chocolate and whipping cream together until well mixed.
6. Spread about 1/3 of the batter into a greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan. Spoon the fudge filling in a ring. Leave about an inch of batter on the inside and outside of the line of filling. Then add the rest of the batter to the pan.
7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, until edges start to pull away from sides of pan and are just starting to brown.
8. Let cake cool in pan for 2 hours before inverting onto a cake plate. Let cool completely before topping with ganache.

Chocolate Ganache

1. Place chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl.
2. In a separate heat proof bowl, heat whipping cream in the microwave on high for about 50-60 seconds, to steaming hot but not boiling. (You can also do this on the stovetop.)
3. Pour heated cream over chocolate chips and let rest for 2 minutes.
4. Stir until chips are completely melted and chocolate is smooth. Let cool for 5-10 minutes then drizzle over top of cake. Let ganache set before serving cake.
