Ingredients
- 1 container whipped topping Cool Whip
- 1 box chocolate cake mix prepared according to package directions
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 can chocolate frosting
- 1 stick margarine softened
- 1 package cream cheese softened
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate cake as instructed on the box and bake until done. Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, slice the cake horizontally into two even layers. Return the bottom half of the cake to the original pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, margarine, and powdered sugar, blending with a mixer until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Evenly spread this filling mixture over the cake layer in the pan, then place the remaining cake half on top to sandwich the filling. In a small bowl, blend the canned chocolate frosting with the milk until smooth and spreadable. Spread this glaze evenly over the top layer of the cake. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.
