Did you know you can actually use your brownie box mix to make a soft and fluffy cake that tastes so much better than your regular chocolate cake?? Let me show you how.
Butter the base and sides of the pan. Line a parchment paper on to the base and dust the sides of the pan with dry flour.
Preheat the oven at 180°C
Empty the content of the brownie mix in a bowl. Add baking powder to it. Mix and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, crack open the 3 eggs. Whisk until it is foamy about a minute.
Add melted butter and vanilla essence if using to it and whisk again.
Finally add the dry ingredients to it. With the help of a rubber spatual using cut and fold method form the cake batter.
Add a tbsp of water at a time if needed to adjust the consistency of the batter.
Transfer to the prepared cake pan, level the top and bake in the preheated oven of 180°C for 28-30 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Once baked let it sit in the pan itself for another 3 mins before flipping on a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache - Optional step
Chop the chocolates and add it to a mixing bowl. Pour hot cream over it and close with a lid for 1 min.
After a minute stir to dissolve the chocolate and make a homogenous mixture.
Once done it will be liquidy. Wrap it with a cling wrap and allow to thicken a bit until it is spreadable.
Spread the ganache on the cooled cake. Top it with some chocolate decorations or keep it simple.
Serve as such or with a scoop of ice-cream

Notes
Making chocolate ganache is optional. You can serve the cake plain with a scoop of ice cream or frost with any other icing like chocolate whipped cream or cream cheese.
Do not follow the quantities and instructions mentioned in your brownie box. Stick to this recipe card.
I prefer using Betty Crocker's Triple Chocolate Brownie Box, but you can use any brand of choice. This is not a sponsored post. Just sharing my recommendations.
Use coffee in place of water at the end to adjust the consistency of the batter if needed. Coffee would bring out the chocolaty flavour even more without a hint of coffee taste.
Add a dash of vanilla extract or almond extract for additional boost of flavour.
