Chocolate Ding-Dong Cake

                                               

Ding Dong Cake
This recipe was posted on Facebook.  I remember making this cake many years ago for our children.  I made a loaf or 11x14 sheet cake with the cream cheese filling and then the chocolate frosting.  It was less time consuming. 
***
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.   Enjoy!
