Chocolate Decadence

I was eating chocolate chips out of our "chocolate lover's size" bag of Nestle Tollhouse semisweet chocolate chips on Thursday and this recipe caught my eye. It is decadent with thick, sweet cream on top and gooey center. And it was even more amazing because it was easy! PS: Sorry the picture is a little blurry.

Chocolate Decadence with Sweetened Cream
2 cups chocolate chips, divided
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350. Line 9 inch round pan with foil; lightly grease.
Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in microwave (1 minute, stir; then, 15 seconds at a time; stir until smooth.) Cool to room temperature.
Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually beat in flour alternately with milk. Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Lift cake from pan using edges of foil; remove foil and top with sweetened cream.
*Sweetened cream: Beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla in chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

Note: the cream whips A LOT better if you use a chilled bowl (metal works even better.)

Also, here are a few pictures that we've taken recently. Formco's new building is REALLY nice, the pictures I took don't do it justice at all. Kirby, the owner, showed us a few of the special things about the building and talked with us for about an hour. A "smart" thermostat system is installed and each of the employees will have a key code that will allow them access to certain parts of the building. They are moving in, officially, Friday or Saturday.
And, Sami is growing so fast. When she's on the floor (or in our laps) she's constantly moving. As you can see, she rolled to her tummy on her blanket and then pushed herself to her crib and then rolled to her back again and then pulled the bear that's bigger than she is onto herself.
