Brownie Ganache Torte

---

Nobody will believe that this bakery-fancy cake starts with a brownie mix! We had it last night at a dinner party and it was awesome. Don't let the long laundry list deter you it is really worth the effort. courtesy barbara estabrook - rhinelander, wi. Pillsbury bake-off 41 (hollywood, 2004).
