Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Turn off mixer occasionally and scrap down the sides of the bowl. Reduce speed to medium. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape sides of bowl as necessary. Add vanilla and beat to combine.

Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until just blended (do not over-mix).

Remove the bowl from the mixer. Stir in the melted and cooled chocolate and mini chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove cake from the pan an place on a wire rack over a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Brush cake with glaze using a pastry brush. Cool cake completely. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired.
