Assembly the cake:
Share Angel Food Cake in two. Spread half the cookie dough frosting on, put the chocolate cake on top , spread on the rest of the cookie dough frosting and add the last of the second half Angel Food Cake . Frost cake with vanilla cream. I saved about 1/4 part vanilla cream that I colored in a dark shade . Was not really black , although it looks like in the picture but dark gray. Had a tablespoon of cocoa to get deeper color . I frosted the cake with vanilla cream, I frosted in about 3 layers, I put the cake in the freezer for about 10 minutes in between frosting. It´s more easier to do that if the cake it´s cool.
Finally , I took the colored cream and spackle on the cake for a messie unfinished look.
