Sissi's 40,000 Calorie, 20lb Brownie Cake


Seriously...we counted. My sister made this cake for my 5 year old nephew's birthday party this weekend.........and they ate it all!


8 boxes Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix
(use-9x13 cake pan , 2 boxes per layer)
Spray pan with Pam (non-stick spray) Line brownie pan with parchment paper, pour in prepared brownie mix and cook as directed, set aside and let cool.

Prepare filling:
Ganach: In a food processor finely chop 2 ½, 11.5oz bags of ghirardelli bittersweet dark chocolate. Heat 2 ¾ cups of heavy whipping cream until just boiling (pay close attention not to burn) While processor is running with chocolate still in it, pour hot cream into chocolate and blend well, as chocolate melts, consistency will be of a light pudding. Set aside and allow to cool until consistency is that of frosting.

Start assembling cake.
Brownie Layer, ganach, brownie layer, ganache, until finished.

Top layer may be finished with ganache, Butter cream frosting or frosting of of choice.
Yum. :)
