Ingredients
Preparation
Prepare cake mix as directed on the box for a two-layered cake. When cooled, slice both layers of cake in half so there are four-round cake layers. Drizzle each layer with 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate syrup. (You can use more and I will usually drizzle some on the plate for a more artistic effect.) Let stand 15 minutes for it to absorb.
Reserve eight whole candies for garnish. Finely chop remaining candies.
Combine whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold chopped candies into sweetened whipped cream.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 1/4 whipped cream mixture on cake layer. Repeat procedure with remaining cake layers, spread 1/4 cup whipping cream mixture between each layer.
Cover and chill until ready to serve for up to eight hours.
Pull a vegetable peeler down the sides of the reserved eight candies and make tiny shavings. Sprinkle candy shavings over torte and drizzle chocolate syrup over cake in a scattered manner making sure you drizzle some on the serving plate. It will look oh so fancy! Enjoy!
