Ingredients

1 pkg (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix
2 pkg (4 oz. each) Baker's German Sweet Chocolate, divided
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
1 container (8 oz.) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed or use real whipped cream

Steps:

Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Bake in 2 greased and floured 9-inch layer pans according to pkg directions. Cool. Split layers horizontally ( I place toothpicks around the cake and then use a serrated edge knife to cut the cake).
Melt 1-1/2 packages of the chocolate in saucepan over very low heat. Cool; then beat in butter. Add almonds. Make chocolate curls from the remaining chocolate.
Spread one cake layer with half the chocolate mixture; top the second layer, and spread with half the whipped topping. Repeat layers; garnish with chocolate curls. Chill one hour.
