Ingredients:

For the Brownie Cake:

• 2 pouches of your favorite brownie mix
• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup water
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 255 g heavy cream
• 235 g dark chocolate, chopped
• 180 g milk chocolate, chopped
• 35 g corn syrup

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brownie Cake:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Stir until well combined and smooth.
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
   • Remove the pans from the oven and allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans.
2. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
   • In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and corn syrup.
   • Let the mixture sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
   • Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.
3. Assemble the Brownie Cake:
   • Once the brownie cakes have cooled, remove them from the pans.
   • Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of the chocolate ganache over the top.
   • Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining ganache over the top and sides of the cake.
4. Serve:
   • Let the ganache set slightly before slicing and serving.
