Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well combined.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and nuts of choice.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Once cooled, drizzle with cream and garnish with gold leaf.
