Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gingerbread cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Sprinkle the candied ginger on top of the ganache.
