Steps:

• 1. Gather ingredients. Allow for time for cream cheese to soften (or use the quick warm-up trick; see **Note.)
• 2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a bundt pan with bakers spray or use the butter/flour method.
• 3. Beat together cream cheese, sour cream and 1/3 cup sugar until smooth.
• 4. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 egg; beat until well combined; set aside.

In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring cream to a slight simmer; immediately pour heated cream over chocolate chips; whisk until completely smooth. Pour over cooled cake. (You may double ganache recipe if extra is desired for serving with chocolate dipped strawberries or for drizzling extra over individual slices.) Serve.
