My guests never guess that this impressive chocolate dessert relies on a packaged cake mix. Mocha flavor and cream cheese frosting make it special. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 tablespoon mocha-flavored coffee drink mix |
1 package dark chocolate cake mix (regular size) |
frosting: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
3 tablespoons mocha-flavored coffee drink mix |
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Grease and flour three 9-in. round baking pans. Line bottoms with waxed paper; grease and flour the paper. In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, brown sugar, butter, walnuts and drink mix; press into prepared pans.
2. Prepare cake batter according to package directions; pour over prepared crusts. Bake according to package directions. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Remove waxed paper.
3. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, sour cream and drink mix until fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth.
4. Place one cake layer, crunchy side up, on a serving plate. Spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Repeat with remaining layers and frosting. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-16 servings.
