Chocolate Cream Cakes

    My mom has been making these since I was little! They're definitely not the healthiest but they are just so delicious! I've always called it mom's Devil Dog cake! We whipped up a bunch of them for the church's performance last weekend.

Chocolate Cream Cakes

Ingredients:

- 1 package of chocolate cake mix

- 1 package of instant chocolate pudding

- 3/4 cup of vegetable oil

- 3/4 cup of water

- 4 eggs

Filling:

- 3 tablespoons flour

- 1 cup of milk

- 1/2 cup butter

- 1/2 cup of shortening

- 1 cup of sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. In a small sauce pan, combine the milk and flour. Bring to a boil, then cook and stir for about 2 minutes, until it begins to thicken. Let cool. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in the milk mixture until the sugar is dissolved about 5 minutes. Split the chocolate cake into two horizontal layers. Spread the filling evenly over the bottom, replace the top, and chill for several hours before slicing and serving.
