Every time I make this cake it gets rave reviews. I do tweek it a little: I omit the Oreos, I add vanilla to the cream cheese, I use an entire small container of Cool Whip, and I add a splash of strong brewed coffee to the chocolate before microwaving.

I made this for my adult daughter's birthday in January 2013 because she is a huge fan of all things “cookies-n-cream.” Three people told me they thought of the cake over the following weekend and wished they had more. I decided this would be a cake I make for my daughter's birthday only but then my daughter-in-law asked if I'd make her one for her next birthday also. My granddaughter's 8th birthday is today. She put her request in last week for this cake. My grown son is somewhat resentful that I won’t make it for every get together that comes down the pike. Good thing it's delicious because I don't enjoy cooking or baking but I fear the requests for this cake won’t stop anytime soon.

I only had swiss chocolate cake on hand, but it turned out great! I was a little worried since I don't like cheese cakes.

This cake was easy to make and tasted like an expensive bakery cake. This will definitely be part of my "go to" recipe file.

I made this recipe for New Years Eve party and everyone loves it. Instead of oil and water I used butter and 2% milk. I'm actually making this again as I type for my sister-in-law. It was easy and quick. I also used regular chocolate icing and iced the whole cake.

I made this cake 3x before I got a slice, it was moist and the filling was creamy! It was outstanding and I will surely make it again!

My husband loved it. I can't remember why I made it,for what occassion. I am a chocoholic and I did NOT like the filling, neither did my daughter. Neither of us are fans of cream cheese so that could be why. Could always try it with vanilla icing.
