Chocolate Creme Cakes

Submitted by barefootmommawv

"Moist layers of chocolate cake sandwich a sweet and creamy filling. The yummy treats are handy to keep in the freezer for lunches and after school snacks. There always seems to be a problem with these dissappearing as soon as I make these."

I found this recipe in one of my Taste of Home magazine and was glad to see it on recipezaar...I poured a chocolate glaze over the cake and then cut into squares...took to a superbowl party and it was a huge hit...like mini ho ho cakes....
