Chocolate cake w/ icing added to batter

[Sherry B]

Not sure if posts like this are okay...but here goes.

I'm trying to locate a recipe for a rich chocolate cake. The recipe is weird, batter and icing are made at the same time, and part of the icing is mixed into the batter.

This is an old, (40-50 yrs old) recipe, originally printed in Progressive Farmer (now Southern Living) magazine.

Does this ring any bells with anyone??

I don't know if this is the one you're looking for, but it mixes part of the icing into the batter, and reserves the rest to be used as icing:

Isn't that sort of like shampoo and conditioner all-in-one?

Google "Starlight Double Delight" to find a recipe.

It's an old Pillsbury bake-off winner. You make the icing first. It has lots of cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, chocolate, and mint flavoring. You then use 2 cups of this to make the batter for the cake, and reserve the rest to frost it.

It is a delicious cake.
