Dissolve soda in buttermilk, stirring well. Add to creamed mixture alternately with flour, beginning and ending with flour. Add 1 c mini-morsel's, melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, and vanilla, stirring just until blended (do not overbeat.)

Combine 4 oz chopped white chocolate and 2 tbsp shortening in top of a double boiler: bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Drizzle melted white chocolate mixture over cooled cake. Melt remaining 1/2 c mini-morsels and 2 tsp shortening in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and let cool; drizzle over white chocolate. If desired, garnish with chocolate and white chocolate leaves. |
