Nifty Recipe: Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Cake

Nifty Recipe Alert....Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Cake!!!!

Ok... So I decided to broaden the blog criteria here. Now I'm going to start adding in nifty recipes that I find and think are worthy of all our time. This one caught my eye and made me know I just had to share. To Eat or Not to Eat? I THINK SO!!!! Let's do it!!!



Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Cake

Unsweetened cocoa
1 (18.25-oz.) package devil's food cake mix
1 (3.4-oz.) package chocolate instant pudding mix
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons chocolate extract (optional)
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 (1.55-oz.) milk chocolate bars, chopped
3 (16-oz.) cans homestyle cream cheese frosting
3 (7.75-oz.) boxes frozen cheesecake bites, coarsely chopped
1 (12-oz.) jar dulce de leche caramel sauce
Double chocolate rolled wafer/Pirouline cookies
Chocolate fudge rolled wafer cookies, coarsely broken

Grease 2 (9") round cakepans, and dust with cocoa.
Beat cake mix and next 7 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 1 minute; then beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Fold in chopped milk chocolate bars. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake at 350° for 32 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool cake in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and chill cake layers at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. (This step enables you to split cake layers with ease.)
Using a serrated knife, slice cake layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers. Place 1 layer, cut side up, on a cake plate. Spread with 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting; sprinkle with one-fourth of chopped cheesecake bites. Repeat procedure with remaining 3 layers, frosting, and cheesecake bites, omitting cheesecake bites on top of last layer. Frost sides and top of cake with remaining frosting. Drizzle desired amount of caramel sauce over cake, letting it drip down sides. Chill until ready to serve. Decorate cake with rolled wafer cookies and remaining chopped cheesecake bites. Store in refrigerator.


Bon Apetite!!!!
