Chocolate Ding-Dong Cake



Ding Dong Cake
Perfect chocolate cake! So simple :)

1 box of Devil's Food cake mix
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
3 c. Powdered sugar
1 stick butter, softened
8 oz Cool Whip
1 tub milk chocolate frosting

Directions:
Prepare and bake the cake as directed on the box, splitting batter into 2 round cake pans.

Filling: Mix and cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add powdered sugar and fold in Cool Whip.

After the cake is completely cooled, cut each through the middle so you end up with 4 layers(or you can just leave it at 2 layers, doesn't make any difference, really). If you decide to cut them, putting the cake in the freezer for 10-15 mins helps it stay firm and not so crumbly when you cut.

Spread a good amount of the filling on top, staying about 1" from the edge. You will have plenty to put a good amount of filling on each layer.
Once cake is layered and filling on, frost entire cake with the milk chocolate frosting. 

This cake is a great chocolate cake and the filling is wonderful, you have enough left over to do another lol. This is a quick new favorite. Enjoy!
