Instructions

Prepare the cake mix as directed on the back of the box. I used a plain box of Devil’s Food cake mix – with a few changes.

I used melted butter instead of oil (same amount).

Instead of water, I added an extra egg and milk. (egg+milk = same as water amount).

I baked it 50 degrees lower than the box called for and 10 minutes longer.

A quick filling of creamy goodness in between the two layers was all I had planned.

1 Pack of cream cheese (softened) whipped with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Then I folded in a container of Cool Whip and few bags of crushed mini Oreos.

OK. Time to make the top all pretty!

Chocolate Ganache is SUPER easy to make — but it intimidates a lot of people.

First, grind/chop up some chocolate. Some recipes say Bittersweet, some say Semisweet.

I do half and half… about 4 ounces of each.

Then I added 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua.

Now, 1 cup (half pint) of heavy cream in a sauce pan. You want to slowly heat this – to bring it to a boil. Once it starts to boil, take it off of the stove and pour it over the chocolate.

Keep stirring it until the chocolate is fully melted.You will want to let this cool a bit, before pouring it over your cake. The longer you let it cool, the thicker it will get. I let it set about ten minutes.
