- To prepare the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Take two 9 inch baking pans and grease them with a little butter.
- Break the eggs into a deep bowl, then add the shortening and use an electric blender to blend them together until the mix becomes fluffy.
- Add the butter to the mix and beat some more so that the butter is well mixed.
- Pour the buttermilk and the mixed fruit essence in the mix and beat the batter well to get a frothy white liquid.
- Add the grated cooking chocolate to the mix and fold in the batter.
- Add the cocoa powder and baking powder. Blend this mix using an electric mixer at medium speed.
- Now add the flour to the mix, one tablespoon at a time, and beat at medium speed until the flour is completely mixed with the batter.
- Mix the baking powder into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking pans and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
- To prepare the frosting:
- Melt the butter and chocolate over a double boiler.
- Remove from the heat and cool before adding the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence and mix well to get a mix of spreading consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled down and the frosting is ready, all you have to do is assemble it:
- Spread a layer of frosting on the top of one cake.
- Stack the second cake on top of the first cake.
- Cover all the sides of the cake with a thick layer of the remaining chocolate frosting.
- Let the cake set in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.
