German Chocolate Cake With Milk Chocolate Ganache

I was having a chocolate craving one day, and I wanted something decadent, and delicious, So here is what I came up with...It is sooooooo good, and so simple.It looks alot more difficult than it is.Cook time includes setting time for ganache.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 8-10
• Yields: 1 bundt cake

Ingredients

• 1 (18 1/4ounce) box  German chocolate cake mix (I use Betty Crocker)
• 1 1⁄3 cups water
• 1⁄2 cup  vegetable oil
• 3  eggs

• Chocolate Ganache

• 2  cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 (23 ounce) package  milk chocolate chips
• 1  tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 (5 ounce)  hershey symphony  chocolate bars with almonds and toffee (this is the big bar)

Directions

1. Prepare cake according to package directions.Pour into a decorative Bundt pan, and bake according to package directions.
2. Remove cake from oven, cool in pan 10 minutes, remove cake frompan and cool on wire rack completely.Place cake on serving plate.
3. Pour heavy whipping cream into heavy sauce pan. Cook, over medium heat, stir occasionally, so not to scorch. Cook just until cream begins to boil.Remove from heat.
4. Add chocolate chips to whipping cream, stir constantly until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. Pour chocolate into a bowl. Place in refrigerator, stir every 10 minutes, for 1-2 hours ( It seems to be different for me everytime), until chocolate is amost spreading consistency, but will still drip from sides of cake.
6. Spread ganache over entire cake, be generous.
7. With a potato peeler, shave chocolate bar over cake, making chocolate shavings, fall over frosted cake. Do as many as you like.
