Whisk the chocolate cream mixture until smooth, then add 2 tablespoons fortified wine, mixing well.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
