Baking Instructions

  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully combined after each addition.
  4. Sift dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then gradually add to wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk.
  5. Stir in chocolate pudding mix and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased pan, filling it about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes and test for doneness with a cake tester or toothpick.
  8. Cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
  9. Prepare ganache by melting butter and water, then mixing in cocoa powder and powdered sugar until smooth.
  10. Once cooled, pour ganache over the cake and let it set before slicing.
