Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as we want a very moist, almost pudding-like consistency for the 'soup'.

While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer (about 1-2 minutes). Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot cream and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and glossy.

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven. While still warm, use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to scoop portions of the warm cake into individual serving bowls. The cake should be soft and almost fall apart, resembling a thick soup.
