Prepare the Cake:
- Combine the dry ingredients (cake mix and pudding mix) in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, oil, sour cream/buttermilk, and coffee).
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
-
Make the Ganache Frosting:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla, milk, and walnuts.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before spreading it over the cooled cake.
Serve:
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
- For an extra decadent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
