Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat over to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Grease a 19cm (base measurement) square cake pan and line base with baking paper.
2.Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High (100%) in 30-second bursts, stirring until melted and smooth. Spread half of the melted chocolate into a 25cm rectangle unprepared tray. Tint remaining chocolate with food colouring. Spoon tinted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle. Pipe rows of orange chocolate onto white chocolate. Drag a knife through chocolate, row by now in opposite direction, to create a feathered effect. Chill for 3 hours or until firm. Break into pieces.
3.Meanwhile, make cake mix as directed. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted at centre comes out clean (cover cake loosely with foil if overbrowning). Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, level top of cake. Cut cake horizontally into even layers. Place one on a serving plate.
4.Brush cake with passionfruit pulp. Using an electric mixer beat cream and icing sugar until soft peaks from. Spread 1/2 cup of the cream over cake. Top with remaining cake of cake. Gently press white chocolate shards to side of cake. Drizzle top of cake with extra passionfruit. Serve.

Use cooking chocolate, but work quickly when tinting and feathering, as it may set faster than eating chocolate. Make ahead: Assemble the cake 1 hour before serving. Store in the fridge.
