Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 4 eggs
  • FILLING:
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat the cake and pudding mixes, oil, water and eggs. Pour into a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy; beat in milk mixture until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Split cake into two horizontal layers. Spread filling over the bottom layer; cover with top layer. Cut into serving-size pieces. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Remove from freezer 1 hour before serving. Yield: 12-18 servings.

I have made this several times over the years. It is one of our favorite cakes for picnics and parties. I always get rave reviews whenever I make it.

This cake is AWSOME! I have also made this as cupcakes, sometimes I inject the filling, sometimes I use it as icing.. If you dont want the filling, the cake is wonderful by itself!!
