Heavenly Chocolate Cake

By srumbel

Three layers of rich, moist chocolate cake with layers of vanilla cream cheese frosting and topped with chocolate sprinkles just for fun. My family loved it! (just an fyi: the original Kraft recipe uses a chocolate cream cheese frosting, I just omitted the cocoa to make a vanilla cream cheese instead)

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix (not pudding in the mix variety)
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
• 3 eggs
• 1-1/3 cups water
• 1 cup MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
• 4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2-1/2 cups sifted powered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 350° F.
SPRAY 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Coat with flour; set aside. Stir cake mix and 1/2 cup cocoa in large mixing bowl. Add eggs, water and dressing; beat with mixer until well blended. Pour into prepared pan.
BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
BEAT cream cheese, milk and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Gradually add combined powdered sugar and remaining cocoa, beating well after each addition. Spread over cake.

Notes
I didn't add the cocoa to the frosting and made a vanilla cream cheese frosting instead!
