COOKING DIRECTIONS

Sift the flour, salt and baking soda together. Beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the chocolate and blend in well. Add the flour mixture with the milk and beat well. Stir in the vanilla essence. Divide the batter between the two cake pans. Bake for about 30 mins at 180o. Remove the cake from the oven and let them cool for about 10 min before turning them out. Place all the ingredients except butter and essence in a saucepan over very low heat and stir constantly until the frosting boils. Remove the pan from heat, add the butter and vanilla essence and cool to lukewarm. Then beat the frosting until it is thick enough to spread. Spread. Spread the frosting and fruit on cake layers and make a sandwich and spread frosting on top and sides of the cake. Decorate with fruit and biscuits if desired.
