Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans. Bake 14 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
2 In large bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. On serving plate, place 1 cake layer, rounded side down. Spread filling over cake, spreading slightly over edge. Top with second layer, rounded side up.
3 In 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream over low heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Cool about 10 minutes. Pour ganache onto top of cake; spread with spatula so it just begins to flow over edge of cake. Store loosely covered.

I made this, and it was fabulous. However, I used a whole box of cake mix, doctored it, and baked it in ten-inch rounds. It really was terrific and using bittersweet and dark chocolate in the ganache balanced the sweetness of the cake and filling. I also made it with yellow cake mix, and we liked that version even better! Oh, and I didn't refrigerate this, either.

This cake was very easy to make. The filling never got fluffy for me after beating it on high. It is a bit thicker than pancake batter. I think next time I will start with all the other filling ingredients but the butter and see how the filling does. And then add milk or butter if it needs it for texture or taste.
