  6. 6

    remove and cool on a wire rack.

  7. 7

    slice the cake into two equal slices and pour the frosting mixture spread evenly and place the other half cake and repeat frosting it (I used a bundt mould in that case spread the frosting in the inner circle first then come outside, after u level it. if u wish decorate slightly with the very spreading knife and sprinkle sugar balls and let it set for 20 to 30 minutes outside

    for the icing , whip the fresh cream till it forms soft peaks then add the essence, sugar and melted chocolate

    p.s : if u want a crunchy and soft bite. you can even use milk chocolate bar frosting . just melt and frost it, but have a really sharp knife. you ll love this taste too
