Rich & Moist Dark Chocolate Cake (Uses Cake Mix) image

This is a decadent and rich moist dark chocolate cake recipe, but it's quick & easy as a boxed cake mix is used. You can make this simple in a bundt pan & serve without frosting with just a dusting of confectioners sugar... or you can prepare it our favorite way by making it into a delicious layer cake using canned or homemade dark chocolate frosting... This is my hubby's favorite that I make for him on Valentine's Day and his Birthday every year...

Tips:

To achieve a moist and decadent cake, use melted butter instead of oil in the cake batter.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use a combination of unsweetened and semisweet chocolate chips.
To prevent the cake from becoming dry, do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

To make the ganache extra decadent, add a tablespoon of butter or a splash of vanilla extract.
