On "Top of the Hill” Baked Alaska Cake


 

Rachael Coon

This is the cake recipe from my Brother’s Surprise 30th Birthday! It is a fun shape and full of favor.

 

1 package devil’s food cake mix (plus ingredients to make mix)

¾ C semi sweet chocolate chips, divided

1 package cream cheese, softened

1 Cup powder sugar

1 container (16 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided. Preheat oven 325* and grease and flour a glass bowl (make sure it is oven safe, like Pyrex). Follow the mix directions and pour into prepared bowl. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until it comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack. Let cool for 3 hours. Slice the cake into either 3 or 4 equal layers. Put bottom layer onto your serving plate. Chop up ¼ cup of chocolate chips and set aside. Place remaining chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and melt for 30 seconds, stir and heat for 20 more seconds and stir until smooth.  Cream powder sugar and cream cheese together and add the melted chocolate. Fold in 2 cups of whip cream and the chopped chocolate. Spread this filling in each layer evenly and then some on top as well. Any extra filling, spread all over the cake. Frost cake with the remaining whip cream and use an end of butter knife to make it spiky. For easy cutting place in fridge for 30 minutes.
