Time 50m

Yield 1 cake, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18 ounce) package white cake mix
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup light cream
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients together and (with Kitchenaid) mix on low for 1 minute. Scrape sides down. Increase the speed to medium high and mix for another 4 minutes. Should look well combined and fluffy.
  • Grease & flour 2-9inch round pans and divide batter evenly into each.
  • Bake until they look lightly golden and sprin back with touch of finger, about 25-29 minutes (at the temperature of the cake mix says).
  • Remove from oven and place on wire racks to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edges, invert onto rack and then invert again so the cakes are right side up.
  • Allow to cool completely. I cover loosely with foil when they were cooled.
  • For Filling and Icing: Cream the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add cool whip and beat again until smooth and fluffy.
  • Divide in half and add mini chocolate chips (as many as you like) to half (for the filling). Use the half without choc. chips for the frosting.
