I use a convenient boxed cake mix to shave minutes off the prep time of this dessert. It gets a homemade tough from a yummy vanilla layer and from-scratch frosting.—Linda Hartsell, Apple Creek, Ohio

Prep: 35 min. + freezing Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
Pinch salt
FROSTING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons hot water

Directions

Prepare cake batter according to package directions; pour into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, for filling, combine flour and milk in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook and stir for 2 minutes; remove from the heat and cool completely.
In a bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar and salt until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Spread over cake. Freeze for 15 minutes. For frosting, beat butter, cocoa and vanilla in a bowl until fluffy. Beat in sugar and water. Spread over filling. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 16-20 servings.
