âIâve been making this recipe since the 70s, and itâs often requested by family and friends. Itâs popular not only for the wonderful eye appeal and taste, but for the short time it takes to create.â âElaine Gairy, Chester, Maryland Ingredients:
1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size) |
12 ounces german sweet chocolate, chopped |
3/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |
chocolate curls |
Directions:
1. Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in almonds (mixture will be thin); set aside.
3. Split each cake into two horizontal layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with half of the chocolate mixture. Top with second cake layer; spread with half of the whipped topping. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with chocolate curls. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.
