Two Layer Chocolate Cake

   Cool whip has been my friend this week, there is litterally nothing easier to frost with. It is so easy! I just have to put it on with a spoon and smooth it out. So easy! So I had half my cake mix left and my Brother had already finished the first cake I made so I decided to be adventourous and make a two layer cake! Yay! So I took two pie tins and made half the boxed cake mix(2 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 cup water). Then I put half of the mixture into one tin, and the other half into the second tin. I also took a fork and ran it through the mixture while turning the tin in a circle. It made a nice pattern on top of the cakes. I was so pleased when they came out after baking for 20 minutes. Then I let them cool for half an hour. Always wait for your cakes to cool, or your frosting with slip right off and not look nice. Then I found some chocolate fudge in the fridge so I warmed it up in a glass in the microwave for a minute and then I pouredit onto the top of the first cake and then I placed the second cake on top of it. The fudge acted as a binding, or a glue. A very yummy glue! You could also use cool whip to do this. Then my cake was assembled and I poured the rest of my cool whip on top of my second teir and volia! It was finished! This was so simple, and so easy! Anyone could do it. It tastes fantastic and it really looks beautiful. Plus my brother loves it!


Simple Chocolate Cake with Whipped Topping

     This was definitely a hit with my younger brother. I think he likes this the best out of everything I have ever made in the kitchen. He even told me I could have my own show, like Cake Boss. So this chocolate cake recipe was a real winner! I just used a regular cake mix from the store. I only used half of the box and I saved the other half. Half of the box made one cake in a simple tin pie tray and 6 cupcakes. I baked it for 20 minutes. The cake was soft and delicious. The only ingredients I needed were 2 eggs, 1/3 cup oil and 1/2 cup water. I also bought one container of cool whip. I only used half the container of cool whip. To assemble the cake all I did was 'frost' the cake in the pie tin with cool whip and then I cut three of the cupcake in half and layed them in a circle on the top of the cake. Then I iced them with cool whip as well. Keep refrigerated because of the cool whip! Simple and sooo good!
