- Method:
- - Pre-heat the oven to 350°F or approximately 177°C.
- - Lightly coat a 9âinch baking pan with non-stick spray or oil.
- - In a medium ceramic bowl, sift together the first five ingredients.
- - 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.
- - Mix in the butter to the melting chocolate and set aside.
- - In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, cream and vanilla extract.
- - Add the chocolateâbutter mixture.
- - Slowly add in the dry ingredients.
- - Bake in the preâheated oven for an estimated 30 minutes. The cake is ready when it springs back when pressed lightly.
- - Cool the cake and remove from the pan to a wire rack. This prevents the cake from being soggy.
- To prepare:
- - Combine the cream cheese and the butter in a bowl and beat on a low speed until smooth.
- - Slowly pour the cream in first before adding the vanilla flavor; increase the mixing speed from low to medium.
- - Add in the confectioner's sugar gradually; at least 1 tablespoon at a time.
- - Increase the mixer speed to high and beat to form stiff peaks.
- - Spread all over the cooled cake.
- - Decorate the top, sides and edges with a combination of white chocolate shavings, bright colored sprinkles, mini-marshmallow and other sugar-baked decorations.
- - The single color-striped candle comes last.
