Thanks to Sheryl for this very easy version that requires very little effort and is made from a cake mix.

Ingredients (Cake)

• CAKE MIX, white, 1 box off the shelf
• VEGETABLE OIL SPRAY
• WATER, 1-1/3
• VEGETABLE OIL, 2 tbs
• LARGE EGGS, 3
• PURE VANILLA EXTRACT, 1 tsp

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly mist a 13 X 9 inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Set aside.
3. Place the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
4. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 min. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to med. and beat 2 min more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look thick and well blended.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with spatula. Place in the oven.
6. Bake the cake until golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 32 to 35 min.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
8. Meanwhile, prepare the syrup. Place the hot water, coffee powder, and sugar in a small bowl and stir to combine until the coffee and sugar dissolve. Stir in the coffee liqueur.
9. Poke holes in the cooled cake with a chopstick or straw and spoon the syrup over the cake so that the syrup can seep down into the holes. Set the cake aside.
10. Prepare the topping. Place the yogurt, cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl and blend on low for 1 to 2 min. till well combined and thick.
11. Spread topping over the syrup-soaked cake, using a rubber spatula to spread the topping out to the edges of the cake.
12. No more then an hour before serving, sift the cocoa powder over the topping so that it covers the top of the cake.
13. Slice the cake into squares and serve.
