Ready to get baking? Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating this masterpiece.
Baking the Cake
First, preheat your oven and bake your chocolate cake as per the instructions on the box. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for about 10 minutes. This is crucial because you don’t want the cake to be too hot when you start assembling it.
Slicing and Layering
After the cake has cooled a bit, turn it out onto a cooling rack and slice it in half horizontally. Place one half back into the pan – this will be the base layer. The other half can wait its turn to shine.
Creating the Filling
Now, it’s time to whip up that dreamy filling. In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and margarine until smooth. Once it’s nicely mixed, gently fold in the Cool Whip. This step is essential for achieving that fluffy, creamy texture we all love.
