Chocolate Bundt Cake with chocolate ganache

This is the BEST Chocolate cake! It is moist and rich and is so easy to make! It contains no eggs, and only a little butter to grease the pan. There is no frosting, just a simple chocolate ganache on top!
When there is a birthday in my family i make whatever kind of cake they want! Chocolate Bundt Cake is often requested by my boys for their birthdays and I don’t mind. It is so good with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
