Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven and prepare both boxes of chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions.
2. Divide the batter between a 23 cm round cake tin and a 26 cm loaf tin.
3. Bake as directed. Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
4. Coarsely chop the Bar-One bars. Heat the cooking cream in a small pot over low heat (or in the microwave) until just warm.
5. Remove from the heat, add the chopped chocolate and leave for 5 minutes. Stir slowly until smooth and glossy.
6. Set aside to cool to a thick but pourable consistency.
7. For the date caramel, blend 1 cup fresh dates with 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt until smooth and thick. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside.
8. Once firm, cut and shape the cakes into a "6" (see the Foodies of SA video for guidance). Fill any gaps with icing.
9. Spread a thin crumb coat of store-bought chocolate icing and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
10. Spread a thick, smooth final layer of icing.
11. Pour the Bar-One ganache over the top so it drips down the sides.
12. Decorate with extra Bar-One pieces and pipe dots of date caramel.
