- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (16 oz) can cream cheese frosting
- 12 oz white or dark chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tsp vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare cake mix with water, oil, and eggs as directed on the box. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
