DIRECTIONS

  1. Cake: Heat oven to 325ºF (160°C). Grease a 10″ (3.8 L) tube pan well; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine oil, sugar, and vanilla; beat at low speed until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to the egg mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 C. (250 mL) of chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 20 minutes. Invert onto serving dish. Cool completely.
  2. Glaze: In a microwave safe bowl, combine 1 C. (250 mL) chocolate chips, shortening and corn syrup. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute; stir. Repeat at 15 second intervals, until just melted and smooth.
  3. Cool slightly; spoon over cake. Let stand until glaze is firm.
