  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • For the Cream Frosting:
  • 5 Tablespoons flour
  • 1¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar

  • For the Chocolate Frosting:

Preparation

Step 1

For the Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch pan. Beat together cake mix, oil, and, eggs according to package directions. Bake cake using the instructions for a 13 x 9 inch pan. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Step 2

For the Cream Filling:
1. Use a hand mixer or an electric mixer to beat together the shortening, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
2. Whisk together flour and milk. Pour into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Be sure to keep an eye on it and continue stirring as it thickens.
3. Add cooked mixture to shortening mixture and beat together until creamy. Spread on cooled cake, reserving about ½ cup of frosting for piping swirls on top. Refrigerate while you make the chocolate frosting.

Step 3

For the Chocolate Frosting:
1. If using chocolate squares, chop chocolate into smaller pieces. Place in a double boiler and melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Heat cream in the microwave for about a minute or until it’s lukewarm. Whisk cream into chocolate mixture until smooth. Pour over cream filling then allow to cool and set up. Place ½ cup reserved filling in a piping bag and pipe small swirls across the top, in rows. Store at room temperature.
