Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake

"Found this in a magazine and it looks so good I want to save it. While it starts with a simple boxed mix and adds a few other ingredients it states the end result is a chocolaty delight, with a fudge-like texture that improves if stored overnight in the fridge. It sure looks good, more brownie like than cake. I'll update this description once I try it. Update 9-8-09: Finally got around to making this and soooo glad I did, such fudgy goodness and enjoyed by everyone who tried it. The only thing I did differant was with the frosting. I defrosted the cool whip (in the fridge) and then melted the choc by itself in the micro and mixed together after, I also used recipe#243117 for the filling to make it even more special. It was fairly simple and the taste was wonderful. Hope you'll enjoy it too."

  1. H Bonnie G #2, I too wanted to have it - so we made it and it is delish! I found it in Kraft's Food & Family magazine and when we finished serving it, upon hearing all the ah's & ooh's I decided to post this but I see you have beaten me to it! We added rum extract to it and it was more wonderful! This is an easy recipe to follow and the instructions are very good. Thanks for posting, Diane :)
