Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 Box Devil’s food cake mix
- 1C mayonnaise
- 1C milk
- 3 eggs
- 1box milk chocolate pudding mix
Frosting:
- 1 8oz pkg cream cheese, room temp
- ½ C Butter, room temp
- 2t Vanilla
- ½ C unsweetened Cocoa
- 1 (32oz) Pkg Powdered Sugar
- 7–8 T Heavy whipping Cream
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and put in 3 7-in pans or 2 8-9in pans at 350F for about 20 min or until the tops of the cake “bounce back” after lightly touched with finger
- To make frosting, beat first 3 ingredients in your kitchen aid until light and fluffy and completely combined
- Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa in medium bowl
- Alternately add 1T cream and 1C powdered sugar mixture to butter mixture while keeping the kitchen aid mixing at low. If you want a thinner frosting feel free to add more cream, or a little more powdered sugar for a thicker frosting.
- Once all the cream and Powdered Sugar are combined beat frosting for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
- Frost Cake immediately
- I garnished mine with Lindt Truffles
- PRO TIP: Frost cake after it’s cooled completely. Even better if you wrap and refrigerate the layers overnight and frost them COLD.
