How to Make Starlight Double Delight Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and margarine until smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla and peppermint extract.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and hot water alternately, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the melted and cooled chocolate until fully incorporated.
- In a separate large bowl, combine 2 cups of the prepared frosting mixture and the softened margarine. Beat until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the milk, beating until the batter is smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (For altitudes above 3500 feet, baking time may need slight adjustment).
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate, top side down.
- Frost the top with about 1/4 of the remaining frosting.
- Top with the second cake layer, top side up.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- For high altitude baking (above 3500 feet): Use 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 1/2 cups of the frosting mixture in the cake batter. Bake as directed above.
