• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• ³⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Dark chocolate chips
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• 5 drop Green food coloring
• for decoration Red candies or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cake is cool, mix the powdered sugar with a few drops of green food coloring until desired color is achieved. Drizzle the glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
8. Decorate with red candies or sprinkles to resemble a wreath.
9. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
