Well I once posted here, and the post was not worthy of this thread IMO. So now I will post something that is IMO. It may not be the Love Month that the OP had in mind, but I'm all for making every month the love month.
So I started with an online recipe for a chocolate cheese cake, and substituted dark coco in place of light/standard coco. Instead of the gram cracker crust, I used some of a pecan cake I had made the day before, but had fallen apart when I tried to shake it from the bunt pan. I took some of the broken pieces and crumbled them into a cookie sheet, and baked til crisp. I then crumbled these to about like bread crumbs, added enough melted butter to moisten, a little sugar,and pressed it into the bottom of a springform pan, added the cake mix and baked until just formed on top. (I have over cooked cheese cake before as it is easy to do, because it seems under cooked when you pull it from the oven, but after a few hours in the fridge it looks much better.)Topping: After it had cooled over night, I melted some semi sweet chips and mixed in some dark coco. To that I added about 1/4 sugar with just enough condensed milk to bring everything to a boil, while stirring constantly. (Just the beginning - just hot enough to get that first bubble. This will allow the sugar to blend, and you wont have that granulated feel. You can also use powder sugar of course.)
This topping would only stay soft at temperatures too hot to allow any time to spread over the cake. I didn't want to add a lot of anything that would lighten the dark, almost black colour of what I had.
I found a little raspberry sirup and added a bit of butter. It still wanted to thicken below 150º, but by removing from the stove it to a pan of boiling water I kept it warm enough to spreed.
I had envisioned the end cake as having this final top layer of white chocolate. I wanted this to spreed from the center out. I thought if I had an old phonograph player i could spin the cake on that and pour the white chocolate in the middle to get this effect, or even a lazy susan, but I had nether. I put the cake in a pan and put that in a larger pan full of water. I could spin the pan with cake in the other but not fast enough with out splashing water into the cake pan. The water was creating to much drag, so I went with chunks of hard water, (or ice) that the pan could more easily spin on. I also had to rig a rope pull of sorts which I could wind the cake pan up on and then pull it to give it a good spin.
I had the white chocolate thinner than it could have been, and poured on more than what would have been ideal.
After I reasoned I would be able to get things right, or what I had wanted next time, I realized I had a big problem. I now had the cake in a pan that was too tight for me to get my fingers or anything else in around, and I could not flip it over without messing up the top. It took me a while, but I got it out by finding a bowl that was just a tiny bit smaller than the cake and by placing it top down on the cake and then flipping the cake over onto it, I was able to remove the pan.
After the cake went on a piece of Lenox, I heated the remaining dark chocolate poured it on top,and had a little fun shaking it from the spatula.
