Ingredients

Brownie Cake

Glaze

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a Bundt pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all brownie cake ingredients (cake mix, brownie mix, sea salt, eggs, olive oil, water and vanilla). Stir to combine.
  • Pour batter into greased Bundt pan. It should be a little over halfway full.
  • Bake for 48 to 51 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool in pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • Once cake is cool, make glaze. Place chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl and set aside.
  • Add coconut milk to a saucepan. Heat until warm. Then, pour hot milk over the chocolate chips. Stir until completely creamy.
  • Finally, pour glaze over cake. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe also works using 18 ounce cake mix and 15 ounce brownie mix.  Just be sure that the total ounces for these two mixes is 33 ounces.
  • Do not prepare the cake batter and brownie batter according to package directions.  Only use the dry mixture inside these boxes!
  • I used gluten free cake mix and gluten free brownie mix.  Feel free to use regular cake mix and brownie mix.
  • Feel free to use vegetable oil instead of olive oil.  The olive oil provides a deep, rich flavor.
  • The cake batter will be relatively thin.
  • Generously spray Bundt pan with nonstick spray.
  • Cake is done baking when toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Feel free to use heavy cream instead of coconut milk if not dairy free.  Or use store bought frosting.
  • Use canned coconut milk (not coconut cream).
