BAKE!

Take the cake out of the refrigerator.
Bake for 18 minutes at 350℉/180℃. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Cake from 15 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out almost clean or with little to no crumbs.
Once your Twix Chocolate Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down completely on your cooling rack.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE PREPARATION

Pour the heavy cream into a microwave safe bowl and bring it just to a boil in microwave, for about 45 seconds. Add the dark chocolate chips and swirl to coat all chips. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir. Transfer to a pipping bag and snip off the tip. Set aside.
