HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the Dads!
For our celebration, I made Ho Ho Cake. If you haven't make it yet, you're going to want to!
HO HO CAKE
BAKE regular chocolate cake mix and let cool.
You will need a larger baking pan. I used 11x16 inches. You could also use two smaller pans. A 9x13 will be too small.
CREAMY FILLING:
5 tbsp. flour
1 1/4 c. milk
1 c. sugar
1 stick butter
1 c. shortening
In a saucepan, add the milk gradually to the flour and cook over low heat until thickened. Set aside to cool. In the mixer, blend sugar, butter and shortening. Beat well. Add the flour and milk mixture to this and beat 3 to 4 minutes at high speed until light and fluffy. Spread the filling on the cake. Refrigerate immediately. In fact, if you can, put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. It helps if the filling is firm when you spread the chocolate frosting on it.
TOPPING:
1 stick margarine (melted)
9 Tbsp cocoa
2 1/2 Tbsp hot water
3 tbsp oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
Combine.....and beat til smooth.
Spread on top of filling.
