This cake is made for my daughter's birthday. She loves chocolate and berries.
Enjoy the recipe!

Filling

340g chocolate bar, I used dark chocolate, but it tasted a bit too bitter for most people, so I highly recommend milk chocolate
170g cream (light, whipping, or heavy)

Icing

To make the cake:

Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, oil, vanilla, and water, beating until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake the cakes for 35 to 38 minutes (a bit less if you use a 9" pan), or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn them out of the pans to cool completely on a rack.

To make the filling:

Combine the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat until the cream is very hot, and the chocolate very soft. Stir to melt the chocolate completely, reheating very briefly if necessary.

Divide the cooled layers in half horizontally, I made 1 layer of cream only. If you wanna make 2, 3 layers, feel free to do so!
Place one layer on a serving plate, and spread with filling. Note: The filling should be soft but not soupy. If it seems too runny to sit nicely atop the layers, simply let it rest at room temperature (or in the fridge, for quicker results) until it thickens up a bit.

Icing and decoration:

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, careful! White chocolate gets burned easier than the dark one.
Beat the whipping cream.

Spread the whipped cream on the cake as in the picture or clip. Pour the white chocolate on a part of the cake as tutorial.
Lay fruit on the cake.
Finish! Good luck!
