Chocolate Cream Cake


You start with a moist boxed chocolate cake mix. Not a fudge or devils food, make it one of the milk chocolate or German chocolate one. Make it per the box directions and bake it in 3 8 inch round layer cake pans per directions. Don't worry, there is enough batter.

When the layers are cooled and out of the pans you need to make this really great frosting for it. Sorry but this isn't to dietetic.
2 C. heavy cream
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2/3 C. light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Whip the cream until quite stiff but be careful that you don't get butter, OK, sometimes a bit of powdered sugar added while you are whipping it keeps that at bay. Anyway, whip the cream and set it in the frig while you work the rest.

Cream the brown sugar and cream cheese together until well blended and smooth.
Add the vanilla.
Blend the cream cheese mixture and the whipped cream and frost you cake.
Betty always tops the cake with some crushed Heath bar and shaved chocolate.
