A couple of months ago I made a cake from a recipe I found online and it was probably the most delicious cake I've ever had..no joking. Well of course I didn't save the recipe...I printed it out but somehow I have lost it.

I think I found an icing recipe that is pretty similar, but I cannot find the cake itself. It was fairly simple..it used a box cake mix and then you added cream cheese to it...I can't remember the exact ingredients though...it was soo moist and yummy. My inlaws are coming this weekend and DH who usually doesn't even like cake (yeah he's a weirdo) asked me to make that one.

Any ideas?
 
Found it!!!

Here it is in case anyone wants to try it...it's soo simple but I'm not lying....one of the top 5 cakes I've ever tasted :)

For the cake:

1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1-1/4 cups water
3 eggs

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in cake mix, water, butter and eggs. Pour batter into 2 9 in. rounds or 1 13x9 in pan and bake at 350 til done.

For the icing..

* 1/2 cup butter, room temperature (no subs)
* 1/2 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
* 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (measure out 3 cups before sifting)
* 1 tablespoon whipping cream (or use half and half, more if needed)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on low speed beat the butter, sifted cocoa powder and chocolate syrup until just combined.
2. Add in the sifted confectioners sugar, whipping cream and vanilla; beat on low speed until the confectioners sugar is combined; increase the speed to medium and beat for 1 more minute until smooth and spreadable (add in more whipping cream or sugar if needed to achieve desired consistency).
