Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
To make the cake topper, melt the frosting in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Once melted, use a spoon to spread the frosting over the top of the cake in a thin layer. Place the cake in the refrigerator to set the frosting. Once the frosting has set, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Once melted, use a spoon to spread the chocolate over the frosting in a thin layer. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before decorating.
