Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and preheat the oven to 350F 175C

Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl

To the dry ingredients, add eggs, sour cream, softened butter, and vanilla extract

Blend until thoroughly blended

Add the boiling water little by little until the batter is smooth

It's okay that it will be thin

After filling the baking pan with batter, bake it for thirty to thirty-five minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

Prepare the chocolate syrup glaze while the cake is baking

Melt the butter, heavy cream, corn syrup, and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat

Stir until smooth and the chocolate has melted completely

After taking off the heat, whisk in the vanilla extract

When the cake is done, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes

Use a fork or toothpick to make holes all over the heated cake

Evenly cover the cake with the warm chocolate syrup glaze, letting it seep in

Before serving, let the cake cool fully and the glaze harden

Cut and savor! Add some whipped cream or cocoa powder on top, if desired
