Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix (not pudding in the mix variety)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1-3/4 cups mashed fully ripe bananas (about 4)
1 cup prepared MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee, cooled
3 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
1 tsp. MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee
2 Tbsp. milk, warmed
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F.
Spray 2 (9-inch) round pans with cooking spray; dust with flour. Cover bottoms with waxed paper. Beat first 6 ingredients in large bowl with mixer until blended; pour evenly into prepared pans.
Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool 10 min.; remove from pans to wire racks. Immediately remove waxed paper. Cool cakes completely. Meanwhile, make chocolate curls from 1 oz. chocolate. (See tip.)
Melt remaining chocolate as directed on package. Dissolve 1 tsp. instant coffee in warm milk. Beat cream cheese in medium bowl with mixer until creamy. Add melted chocolate and milk mixture; mix well. Gradually beat in powdered sugar.
Fill and frost cake layers with cream cheese frosting. Immediately press nuts into frosting on side of cake. Top cake with chocolate curls.
