Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, and oil. Blend at medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tube or bundt pan thoroughly.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon for the streusel.
  5. Sprinkle half of the streusel over the batter and swirl it with a knife.
  6. Add the remaining batter to the pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the rest of the streusel. Swirl again.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a serving plate.
  9. For the ganache, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the ganache over the cooled bread and let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
