Directions

Make It
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Chop 2 chocolate squares. Beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, and water in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Stir in chopped chocolate. Pour into 2 (9-inch) round pans sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Loosen cakes from sides of pans. Invert onto wire racks; gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.
Microwave COOL WHIP and remaining chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 minutes or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 minute. Let stand 15 minutes to thicken.
Stack cake layers on plate, filling and frosting with COOL WHIP mixture. Sprinkle with nuts. Keep refrigerated.

Kraft Kitchen Tips
Variation: Prepare using JELL-O Chocolate Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Pudding, BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream, and COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping.

Kraft Kitchen Tips
Make Ahead: The fudge-like texture of this cake improves when it is stored overnight in the refrigerator.
