To avoid the "hole in the center" when the cream cheese tunnel doesn't hold up to slicing add an egg and 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 tsp. baking powder to the cream cheese mixture. Yummy cake!

This was delicious. I actually made two cakes: one as listed here and the second I used white chocolate chips. Everyone preferred the white chocolate center. Also on the second cake I sprinkled the pecans on top instead of in it (in case someone doesn't like nuts) increased the cream used in the cream cheese mixture by 2 tablespoons and made a white chocolate glaze to compliment the chocolate glaze. Yummy!
My coworkers and my husband loved this! I'm not usually a chocolate lover but it tastes like a chocolate cake with cheesecake in the middle. Yum! I did add an egg to the cream cheese mixture before baking and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely make this again!
This cake was fabulous! We poured a raspberry coulis over each piece before serving. Delicious! I made this cake in a bundt pan and it seemed like there was almost too much filling. Next time I may cut the filling in half. ---- Just made this for the second time and used white chocolate chips for the filling and only 1 1/2 packages of cream cheese. Worked great. The whole cake dissapeared very quickly. I suggest to serve this cake cold. OH I also omited the nuts.
This cake is to die for! I didn't make the glaze; instead I melted some semisweet milk and white chocolate chips (separately) and drizzled them alternatively over the cake. I then put shavings of white and milk chocolate on top. What a presentation!
I think this cake was wonderful!! I will make this cake for the hoilday season. for a helpful tip add one egg to the cream cheese mix it will mak it stay very well put togther!!
YUMmy!!! This cake is so good. I served it at a cinco de Mayo party we had lastnight and everyone loved it. I did not serve it cold but would recomend doing so It's even better today cold I can't get enough of this delicous scrumptious cake and so easy to make. I made it without nuts and substituted the coffee for choclate milk and put melted whhite choclate and dark cholclate chips beautiful and tasty!!!
This was a great cake for my husbands Birthday I used a dark chocolate cake mix....I added an egg to the cream cheese mixture.....For the ganache I added 1 tablespoon of corn syryp and 2 tablespoons of butter so it became nice and shiney! I will use this cake recipe over and over and next time I think I will make a cherry cream cheese filling. I figure this recipe can be changed in many ways with different fillings and different flavors cake mixes.
I brought this for a co-workers birthday today and everyone is raving about. I personally think the cake part is dry so will try cooking for a little less time next time.
This cake is very unique and rich. I did like it but I probably won't make it again. Everyone who tried it liked it but I prefer really moist chocolate cakes. The cream cheese part is moist but not the actual cake. Maybe it is the type of mix I use I'm not too sure but overall it is very unique and chocolatey. It tastes really good with milk and really looks beautiful with the icing.
