Recipe
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 10-inch (12-cup) flute tube pan. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla in another bowl until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and whites, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in flour mixture alternately with milk. Stir in chips. Spoon mixture into tube pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool on rack.
Meanwhile, prepare glaze. Combine butter, corn syrup, and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add chips, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla until well blended. Pour the glaze over the top of cooled cake. Let stand at room temperature until the glaze is set. Garnish with chocolate curls, chocolate leaves, and sugared cranberries, if you wish.
