"This recipe came from my mother, who made the cake from scratch when I was growing up," writes Caroline Anderson of Waupaca, Wisconsin. "Sometimes she'd replace the smooth filling with homemade whipped cream, which was readily available on the farm."

I like the idea of the cream cheese. What would be the (substitute) measurements for using the cream cheese and semisweet morsels? Are the semisweet morsels chocolate?

I made mine simular to these except instead of using marshmallow cream and shortning I used cream cheese. The result was an extra rich treat!
