Cake Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix The foundation of this cake, providing a rich and chocolaty flavor.
1 package cream cheese, softened Adds a luxurious filling that balances the dense cake layers.
3 cups powdered sugar Ensures that the filling is gloriously sweet.
1 stick margarine, softened Adds buttery richness to the filling.
1 container Cool Whip Gives the filling a lightness that contrasts perfectly with the cake's density.
1 can chocolate icing Adds a glossy layer to the cake.
2 tablespoons milk Helps create a smooth, creamy consistency in the filling.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven according to cake mix instructions. Prepare chocolate cake mix as directed and pour batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake as directed.
While the cake bakes, make the filling by beating together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and margarine until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip and milk.
After the cake cools completely, cut it into squares and slice each square in half horizontally. Spread the filling between the layers, then place the top back on.
Spread chocolate icing over the top of the cake squares. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the filling. To add texture, crushed nuts or chocolate chips can be incorporated into the filling. Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
