Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and pudding mix.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk until combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
For the ganache icing, combine water, butter, vanilla extract, and sifted cocoa in a saucepan over low heat until melted; gradually stir in powdered sugar for desired consistency.
