Steps:
- Prepare the cake mix according to cake box directions. Bake them in two circular pans, 9x9 as directed on the cake box. Let them cool before frosting them.
- Before you frost the cakes, you should unwrap the Kit Kat packages so they are ready to place on while the frosting is soft and they stick to it.
- Frost the two cakes and place on top of the other. Once you have both cakes frosted and put together, start lining the Kit Kat's vertically on the sides of the cake. I usually do two at a time. Once that is done, pour the M&M's on top of the cake.
- If you want you can put a ribbon around the cake to make it look pretty.
- Whip butter and cocoa together until smooth in large bowl.
- Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar.
- Slowly stream in milk until frosting reaches desired consistency.
- Scrape sides and whip again until light, fluffy and smooth, 1-2 minutes

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and line a cupcake pan with 6 liners (you're going to have 6 cupcakes to munch on along with your cake!)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, flour, sugar and salt. Add the remaining ingredients and beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes, or until well blended.
- Scoop the batter into 6 cupcake liners 3/4-full. Divide the remaining batter between the two prepared round pans. Bake the cupcakes for about 25 minutes, and bake the cake rounds 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pans for 20 minutes, then remove the cake layers to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, you're ready to assemble. Place one layer on a serving plate, and tuck strips of waxed paper underneath the sides of the cake.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed until blended. Increase speed to medium, and slowly add milk and vanilla, beating until smooth. Microwave chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30 second intervals. Gradually add melted chocolate to mixture; beat until blended and smooth.
- Frost the 1st cake layer. Set the 2nd layer on top of the first. Frost the 2nd layer and along the sides of the cake too. Stick Kit Kat's to the sides of the cake, leaving a very small space in between each Kit Kat (1/4-inch). Wrap a bow around the cake, securing the Kit Kat's. Fill the top of the cake with M&M's. Pull out the strips of waxed paper and discard. Use any extra frosting to frost your 6 extra cupcakes.
- If you refrigerate the cake for a couple of hours or so, it will be much easier to cut and serve. Of course, you'll need to remove the bow just before serving.

Steps:
- FOR THE CHOCOLATE CAKE BASE
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two 8 inches round cake pans, by greasing it with oil and lining the bottom of the pan with pre-cut parchment paper. Trace the shape of the pan by placing it over the parchment paper, then trim and place the reverse side of the paper on to the bottom of the pan.
- Sieve the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and coffee powder in a mixing bowl. Add sugar and salt and whisk to combine everything well.
- Make 3 depressions in the dry ingredients - two small, one larger.
- Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and vegetable oil in larger depression.
- Pour water over all, mix well just until combined and no more flour pockets are visible. The batter may have a few lumps and that is okay, do not over mix.
- Divide the batter equally between the two cake pans, tap the pans on the countertop to remove air bubbles. Bake on the middle rack for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack, let it cool completely before frosting. You can cover the cake and refrigerate it until you are ready to frost it. {Note: Oven baking times may vary, check your cake to avoid over baking it, but check no sooner than 30 minutes}.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your cake will taste. This is especially important for the milk and eggs.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature: This will help them cream together smoothly and give your cake a light and fluffy texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
