Chocolate Cool-Whip Birthday Cake

I found this recipe when I was looking for the perfect birthday cake for my baby's first birthday. It turned out fabulously! We all loved it so much, but when David's birthday rolled around and he requested the same cake - I knew it was a real winner. And SO yummy.

Ingredients:
1 tub of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1 box chocolate cake mix (and the ingredients listed on the box)
Melting chocolate or Almond Bark

Directions: 
Mix the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Bake in 8- or 9-inch rounds and let cool. Slice each round in half to make four circular cakes. (If you happen to break one, don't worry, you can put it back together with your melted chocolate.) 

Melt your chocolate according to the package directions and spread it between the layers of cake you just cut apart, then reassemble the two round cakes to create two circular cakes with a layer or chocolate in the middle of each one. Let cool. 

Assemble the cake with COOL WHIP between the two cakes, then frost all over the outside. Top with sprinkles.

Want to see a flashback to Lydia's first Birthday party? I made a large cake for everyone else and a small cake just for her. It was so fun and really did turn out perfectly. I dare say this cake is a new family favorite!
