- 4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
- 1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 9 inch pans with parchment paper. Cut 9 inch circles, so bottoms will be smooth. Springform pans are preferred.
- Melt 2 squares chocolate in saucepan over low heat. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together cake flour, 1 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and soda.
- In a large bowl, with electric mixer, blend 1/2 cup shortening, 1 1/4 cup evaporated milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat with mixer 2 minutes at medium speed.
- Add 2 eggs and mix until eggs are just blended. Add the melted 2 squares of chocolate (drizzle in while blending). Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Divide batter into two 9 inch pans.
- Melt remaining 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate. Drizzle melted chocolate in ring shape onto batter, about 1 to 2 inches from edge. Using a butter knife or thin spatula, swirl chocolate into pinwheel pattern with a large circular motion. Don't swirl too much as you want chunks to remain. Press knife or spatula all the way to bottom of pan as you swirl.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Cool completely.
- To make the filling: Melt 1 square of chocolate. In a large bowl, combine 2/3 cup shortening, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup evaporated milk 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla and water. Add melted chocolate and beat on high speed for 10 minutes.
- Using a long serrated knife, divide each cooled cake into 2 layers. Spread filling between layers. Use prettiest pinwheel layer as top layer.
