      Title: Valentine Surprise
 Categories: Cheesecakes, Chocolate, Fruits
      Yield: 12 Servings

 15 1/4 oz Box dark chocolate cake mix
    1/2 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Light corn syrup
      2 tb Water
      2    Egg whites; room temp
      1 ts Vanilla
      1 c  Strawberries; sliced
      1 c  Chocolate chips
    1/4 c  Shortening
      3 tb Light corn syrup
      2 tb + 1/2 ts water

  Prepare cake according to package directions using a
  greased and floured 9" pan at least 3 inches deep. (Or
  bake in 2 layer pans). Remove from pans to wire rack; let
  cool.

  FOR FILLING: combine suger, corn syrup and water in
  saucepan. Cover: bring to a rolling boil over medium
  heat. Uncover; boil rapidly until mixture reaches 242
  degrees on candy thermometer.

  Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff. Slowly add hot
  syrup mixture to egg whites while beating on medium speed
  of electric mixer. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed of
  electric mixer. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed until
  stiff peaks form. Fold in strawberries. (Can be made
  without strawberries.)

  If cake has been baked in layers, stack layers. Slice off
  approximately 1/2" of the top of the cake; reserve. Scoop
  out inside of cake to within 1" of the sides. Reserve
  removed cake for another use. Fill hollowed-out cake with
  filling. Replace top.

  FOR GLAZE; In top of double boiler, combine chocolate
  morsels, shortening, corn syrup and water. Heat over
  boiling water until chocolate and shortening have melted,
  stirring frequently. With filled and assembled cake still
  on wiare rack, slowly pour glze over cake in a circular
  motion, smoothing on the sides as glaze drips down with a
  small metal spatula or knife.

  Refrigerate until set.

  Store in refrigerator.

  NOTE: Cake will be shiny chocolate-looking, kind of plain
  until it is cut!

  Debbie Holland; This cake is a bit of trouble but very
  special. Found in St. Louis Post Dispatch.
