Oh soooo good!

I would not recommend using the "Butter" style cake mixes (where you add butter vs. oil) as my cream cheese layer didn't quite sink properly and I'm sure it's because of the cake mix. However, that said, this STILL was an AWESOME recipe!!! It was rich and delicious and just a little "different." No frosting needed!!.

This cake was so easy to make and so good to go down. The taste reminds me of German Sweet Chocolate Cake, but a lot shorter time to make it. Try it you'll really like it..
