Mocha Latte Chip Cake

I found this recipe on one of those tear-off pads that companies leave in stores to promote their products. It is a lovely, moist cake, and with the abundance of chocolate chips in the mixture, looks like a big chocolate chip cookie when sliced. I made it without the glaze, which I would save if making the cake for a special occasion.
