Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped

Equipment

9x13-inch baking pan
Two mixing bowls
Measuring cups and spoons
Saucepan
Whisk and spatula

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch pan.
Melt the butter and combine it with granulated sugar in a large bowl.
Add eggs one at a time and then mix in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over the chopped chocolate.
Stir until smooth and glossy to create the ganache.
Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and spread evenly.
Let the ganache set for about an hour before serving.

Notes

For best results, always use good quality cocoa powder and chocolate. If you're missing an ingredient, don't worry—easy swaps are included in the notes. Patience is key! Allow the cake to cool fully before adding the ganache for the best results. Serve plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to two days or in the fridge for up to five days. It can even be frozen for up to three months!
