Desserts - Cakes
CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE

1 package Betty Crocker SuperMoist chocolate fudge cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tub Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy chocolate ready-to-spread frosting
FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
1/3 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 bars (1.4 ounces each) chocolate-covered toffee candy, very coarsely chopped (for garnish)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease bottoms only of 2 round pans, 8x1 1/2 or 9x1 1/2 inches.

Make cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and eggs. Pour into prepared pans.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Spread with about 1/3 cup frosting. Place other layer, rounded side up, on top. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting.

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GANACHES:
Heat whipping cream in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot (do not boil); remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let stand 5 minutes.

Carefully pour chocolate mixture onto top center of cake; spread to edge, allowing some to drizzle down side. Garnish top of cake with toffee candy. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Store covered in refrigerator.

Makes 1 (2-layer) cake, 16 servings
