The ingredients for Texas Earthquake Cake are:

1/2 Cup Almonds, slivered or chopped

1 box Chocolate cake mix, prepared*

1/2 package fat free cream cheese (4 oz)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 Tbsp Immitation butter**
Skim Milk to smooth (about 1/4 cup)

*It helps the calorie count to use eggbeaters, and instead of vegetable, substitute sugar free apple sauce.

**I use Promise Heart Smart immitation butter spread. It's only 5 calories/serving. Using margarine will increase the calories.

OR to lower the calories and fat...use this recipe for cream cheese frosting instead of the frosting in this recipe.
