This was another of my happy accidents :)
My hubby wanted a chocolate cake for desert tonight so I used My cream cheese cupcake recipe and used a chocolate cake mix (triple chocolate fudge to be precise) instead of white. the whole time it baked I worried about frosting it because I knew we needed to eat it fairly quickly and I wouldn't have time to let it cool enough for a traditional butter cream.
so then I pulled out my favorite cupcake magazine/cookbook and found Ganache but it called for heavy cream and I didn't have any..... so then I got thinking and went on line in search of a recipe that used evaporated milk :)

@;-- I used this recipe but if you double it it will use a whole can of evaporated milk :)
@;--I also added more chocolate chips because it says that if it has more chocolate chips it's thicker and I wanted thicker
@;-- I used milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet just because I'm not that fond of semi-sweet
when the ganache was about room temp it looked kind of like chocolaate syrup so we decided to just pour it over the cut peices of cake and put cool whip on them and wha laa! it looked really pretty but it tasted just like hot lava cake like you make in a crock pot! I don't think I'll ever worry abaout making the crockpot version again this was too easy :)
@;-- Enjoy :)
