Description
There is no shame in using a cake mix when you need chocolate cake stat! This cake is moist, fluffy and most important delicious. The cake turns out so light and fluffy that you really can’t stab it with your fork, you have to scoop it up.
Ingredients
- 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix (I Use Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix)
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter
- 1-⅓ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 whole Eggs
- 3 teaspoons Instant Coffee, Divided
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- ¼ cups Powder Sugar
- ¾ cups Semi-sweet Chocolate, Chopped
- 1 cup Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional)
Preparation
Pre-heat oven according to box directions. Grease two 9 inch round cake pans.
Combine cake mix, butter, cream, eggs and 2 tsp instant coffee together. Divide batter evenly into round cake pans. Bake according to directions or until test knife comes out clean.
While cake is baking, cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Melt chocolate on the stove top at a low heat, combine with 1 tsp instant coffee. Remove from heat and let it cool until tepid.
Drizzle chocolate into cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined. Taste for sweetness and add more powder sugar if needed. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
Once your cake is done and cooled, level your cake and ice it.
If you like, garnish the sides with semi-sweet mini chocolate chips.
Note*: The icing recipe makes just enough icing for the cake. If you like a thicker layer of icing I would recommend doubling the recipe.

The cake is baking as I type. I think the frosting should probably say 3 to 4 cups of powdered sugar. That’s the standard recipe for cream cheese frosting. I’m going to go with that.

Hi, it looks so good and I am in the process of assembling ingredients. Really only 1/4 cup of powdered sugar? Just checking

Sorry looks like I forgot that little detail. I made the edits. You add it to the batter, the icing is just cream cheese, chocolate and powdered sugar.

Do you add the heavy cream to the cake batter or to the icing mixture?
Thanks!
