For the Chocolate Glaze:
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions:

. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set.
. While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate glaze by heating cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and butter until smooth.
. Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
