Crumble the chocolate cake into a large mixing bowl, breaking it down into fine crumbs with your hands or a fork.
Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs and mix well until the texture is uniform and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small, round truffle. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used, placing the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up.
While the truffles are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, melt it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and, using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle evenly in the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle the coated truffles with sprinkles or a dusting of cocoa powder for decoration before the chocolate sets.
Let the chocolate coating set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Once set, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
