1/2 c Vegetable oil
3 Eggs
1 1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine

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 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in
center comes out clean.
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. Simmering, stirring, over low heat 5
minutes.
Immediately upon removal from oven, spoon two thirds 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.
