Devil'S Food Cake With Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cake
- 1 (18 ounce) package devil's food cake mix, prepared as directed for 2 (9-inch)
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
- Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces whipping cream
- 2/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 dash salt
- chocolate shavings (optional)
- Whip cream in a chilled bowl. Beat until stiff peaks, being careful not to make butter!
- In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla and salt until combined.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Leaving no streaks of the cream cheese mixture.
- Slice each cake round horizontally making 4 layers.
- Place the bottom layer of cake on a cake stand, put 1/4 of frosting on bottom layer, spreading to the edges. It is ok to have it extend over the edges a bit to show on the outside.
- Place the 2nd layer of cake and apply the next 1/4 of frosting, pushing it out to edges. Repeat until all layers of cake are used. Spread the last 1/4 of frosting on top, making it look nice and swirly.
- If you would like more decoration on the top, take a block of chocolate or a Hershey bar and make chocolate shavings with a vegetable peeler. Sprinkle on top.
