Chocolate Brandy Cake:
365 Great Chocolate Desserts

1 Package Devil's food cake with pudding
1 cup Brandy
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 Eggs
1 1/2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
4 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon Brandy extract
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 2/3 cup Brandy, 1/2 cup water, oil and eggs.  Beat with an electric mixer on high speed 2 minutes, scraping down bowl a few times.  Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.  Turn into a well-greased 12 cup bundt pan.  Bake 35-45 minutes.

During last 7 minutes of cake baking time, prepare glaze.

In a small saucepan, combine butter, remaining 1/3 cup brandy, corn syrup, brandy extract and 2 Tablespoons water.  Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until butter melts.  Stir in remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and powdered sugar.  Simmer and stir over low heat for 5 minutes.

Immediately upon removing cake from oven, spoon 2/3 of hot glaze over cake.  Let cake cool in pan 25 minutes, then invert onto a cake plate.  Reheat remaining glaze and spoon over top of cake.  Let cool completely.  Cake is best if made a day in advance of serving time to allow flavors to mellow.

Serve with whipped cream and raspberries.
