- 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Ganache (recipe follows)

Method
- Remove 2 pouches Krusteaz Professional Ready to Bake Sweet Cream Vanilla Cake & Muffin batter from refrigerator. No slacking required.
- Prepare 6 each, 9-inch round cake pans by lightly greasing, lining with parchment and then lightly greasing the parchment paper.
- Cut open one end of the pouch and scale 22 oz batter into each prepared pan.
- Spread batter evenly in pans.
- For convection oven, bake at 300°F at low fan speed for 25-30 minutes. Allow cakes to cool completely before removing from pan.
- For ganache: bring cream just to a boil and pour over chocolate chips. Using a whisk, mix gently until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
