“This is my interpretation of a cake my friend in Germany has traditionally every year. It’s delicious! You may adorn it with icing, candy or fruit. We like to frost it with buttercream frosting.”

1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons baking powder
