  1. Method:
  2. - Pre-heat the oven to 350°F or approximately 177°C.
  3. - Lightly coat a 9–inch baking pan with non-stick spray or oil.
  4. - In a medium ceramic bowl, sift together the first five ingredients.
  5. - Break or crack the chocolate into small pieces and melt on top of a double boiler. You may also melt this using a pan on top of a pot with boiling water.
  6. - Mix in the butter to the melting chocolate and set aside.
  7. - In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, cream and vanilla extract.
  8. - Add the chocolate–butter mixture.
  9. - Slowly add in the dry ingredients.
  10. - Bake in the pre–heated oven for an estimated 30 minutes. The cake is ready when it springs back when pressed lightly.
  11. - Cool the cake and remove from the pan to a wire rack. This prevents the cake from being soggy.
  12. To prepare:
  13. - Combine the cream cheese and the butter in a bowl and beat on a low speed until smooth.
  14. - Slowly pour the cream in first before adding the vanilla flavor; increase the mixing speed from low to medium.
  15. - Add in the confectioner's sugar gradually; at least 1 tablespoon at a time.
  16. - Increase the mixer speed to high and beat to form stiff peaks.
  17. - Spread all over the cooled cake.
  18. - Decorate the top, sides and edges with a combination of white chocolate shavings, bright colored sprinkles, mini-marshmallow and other sugar-baked decorations.
  19. - The single color-striped candle comes last.
