Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth.
-
Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Top with fresh berries.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving.
