Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
5 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar and mint, for garnish

Directions

Mix and bake the cake as directed, using a 9 by 13-inch pan. Cool and turn out from pan.

Using dental floss, slice cake in 2 lengthwise, so you have 2 layers.

In saucepan, combine the flour and milk. Cook and stir until thick. Set aside to cool.

In bowl combine sugar, salt, shortening, softened butter and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer until fluffy, then add the cooled milk mixture and beat until fluffy.

Put half the cake in a 9 by 13-inch plastic keeper. Spread all of filling over that, then top with the other half of the cake. Cover with lid and store 1 or 2 days ahead. Garnish with powdered sugar and mint before serving.

ok
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

My family tried this recipe and thought it was ok but nothing special. We weren't a big fan of the filling. It needed to be... a little sweeter.Read more

oddly addictive
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this cake twice now and I(and many of my friends and family) find it to be oddly addictive. On the surface, it... doesn't appear special but once you start eating you can't put your fork down. I find myself slicing off small bites everytime I walk through the kitchen. My niece dubbed it "crack" cake. I did use cream cheese instead of shortening and also added about 1tsp of lemon juice to the filling. It is definately awesome. Can't wait to try it with chocolate cake as well as banana cake. This recipes a keeper!Read more
