Cassie's Notes:

If you are a chocoholic, this cake should do the trick.

A very moist,rich cake, filled with nuts and chocolate chips. Covered with a thick, chocolate Ganache..I doubled the recipe for that.

Enjoy!

Directions

Mix all ingredients except nuts and chips on low until well blended. Beat 2 minutes on high.

Add nuts and chips.

Pour into greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes. ( Check at 45 - 50 minutes. Mine was done at 50 minutes.

Cool cake 10 minutes then turn out onto platter.

Glaze preparation:

Combine milk and sugar in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until sugar is melted and mixture is warm.

Combine the chocolate and corn syrup in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.

When the milk and sugar mixture is melted and warm, pour it over the chocolate and corn syrup. Let it sit for a minute to heat the chocolate, then whisk until smooth.

Let it cool just slightly to thicken a little bit, then slowly pour it over the cooled cake.

Garnishing with nuts is up to you. I think they looked nice against all of that chocolate.

The cake is very moist, and very rich. I would slice smaller pieces to serve.

Enjoy!
