This is an amazing cake that is really easy. It tastes like a giant ho-ho! It is very sweet and goes great with coffee. It has basic ingredients and presents very very well. I got it from a TOH in '04. Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package devil's food cake mix |
1 1/4 cups water |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
3 eggs |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup sugar |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 cup water |
3 tablespoons butter, cubed |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Prepare and bake cake according to package directions using water, oil and eggs.
2. Pour batter into greased and floured 9 x 13 pan. After baking, let cool completely before inverting onto wire rack.
3. For filling, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Heat milk to 140° and add to creamed mixture.
5. Beat until sugar is dissolved, then stir in vanilla.
6. Split cake into two horizontal layers, spread filling over bottom cake layer. Top with remaining cake layer.
7. For glaze, combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
