preparation direction
 

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease two 9” (23 cm) cake pans.

2. Cake: Melt chocolate and shortening together. Cool.

3. In a separate bowl, combine evaporated milk and vinegar. Reserve

4. In a medium bowl, beat sugars, eggs and vanilla until mixture is thick, about 3-5 minutes. Fold in chocolate mixture. Beat until combined.

5. Mix next 4 ingredients together. Add half of dry mixture to wet ingredients. Add milk mixture and then remaining dry mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide batter between the two prepared cake pans.

6. Bake in preheated oven 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre of cakes comes out clean.

7. Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until light and well combined. Add icing sugar 1 cup (250 mL) at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and chocolate. Thin out with 1-2 tbsp (15-30 mL) of milk if necessary.

8. Assembly: Slice each cake in half horizontally to create 4 layers. Spread first layer with about 1 cup (250 mL) frosting, continue with each layer, icing top and sides of cake. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
