Directions:
Split cake into 4 thin layers. Beat ricotta, cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Finely chop 2 squares of the chocolate; stir into cheese along with the candied fruits. Combine pineapple juice and rum in a cup.

Drizzle each of 3 layers with 1/4 cup of the rum syrup. Spread each with 1/3 of the cheese filling. Assemble cake with plain layer on top. Brush top and side with remaining rum syrup.

Melt remaining 6 squares chocolate with butter in a medium-size bowl with hot, not boiling, water; remove from heat. Dissolve coffee in hot water; add to chocolate. Stir in 10X sugar until smooth. Chill until thick enough to spread. Frost top and side of cake. Decorate with candied fruits and nuts, if you wish.
