Ghirardelli Brownie Cake
Ghirardelli Brownie Cake
This recipe is from a boxed Ghirardelli Brownie Mix and is straight forward as well, and for this I am using the dark chocolate mix as that is my Mom's favorite type of chocolate. This is a 3 layer cake, and the frosting is your choice, such as store bought, a homemade ganache, or a even a homemade buttercream frosting. I will be using my homemade chocolate buttercream frosting for this cake. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Ghirardelli Brownie Mix
- 1 cup cooking oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 eggs
- frosting, of your choice, Shortcut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 165 C (325 F). Grease with butter 3 round cake pans if you are using pans with easy release cutters or removable bottoms. If using fixed pans grease the sides and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- To a mixing bowl, add both mixes, eggs, oil, and water.
- Mix batter, pour the batter equally into all three pans.
- Bake for 38 minutes and remove from the oven. Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
- When the cakes are completely cooled, prepare your frosting of choice. I made my homemade chocolate buttercream frosting and made 1 1/12 times the recipe.
- Frost just between the layers or between and the sides, totally up to you.
- I also added some candy sprinkles.
- Place in the fridge until you serve.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
For the US, this is low cost per serving since each box of this brand of brownie mix is $2.75, in Thailand, another brand mix would be $10+. I will also work up a brownie mix for Thailand that will greatly reduce the cost.
