Swiss Chocolate Cake

Have you ever had a recipe that you request over an over, and cannot get enough of? This cake is one of those recipes fr me. My nana has been making this cake for as long as I can remember for birthdays. Every year this is the birthday cake of choice. Nothing fancy. Most of the time not even a candle. Just the cake, sitting on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, waiting to be devoured ! I must admit that I cheat. I do not make the chocolate cake homemade. It is semi homemade. From a box. but the frosting is what makes the cake, so I don't mind the cake part. I use a good devil's food cake and it is the best cake . Perfect for all occasions.

Mix ingredients together and beat well. Pour into two greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.When slightly cooled, turn onto a cooling rack and cool cake completely.

1 8oz cream cheese, softened
1 c powdered sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar

Mix all together well. Place one cake on a plate and cover with icing. Place second cake on top and frost the rest of the cake. Keep refrigerated.
