Ho Ho Cake

I am starving and writing this post about food sure isn't helping matters. I guess I'll take care of that issue just as soon as I finish here.
It's been a pretty boring week here. Nothing going on except the usual....cooking, cleaning, schooling and well you get the picture.
Same stuff.....different day! :-)

The kids are almost finished with their schoolwork for the day so we are heading out to work in the garden. They are calling for rain over the weekend (which we need) so I would like to get the corn in the ground before we have a muddy mess to tromp through. That is .... if I can get the roto tiller started on my own.
My potatoes and green beans are up and growing now and I'm anxious to get everything else in the ground too!
Well enough of the boring stuff.
How about some good food?
This recipe traditionally calls for eggs in the glaze but I don't like using raw eggs so I omitted them.

Ho Ho Cake

1 dark chocolate cake mix

1 cup milk

5 tbsp. flour

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

Prepare cake as directed on box and bake in a 11 1/2X 15 pan.

While cake is baking, mix flour and milk over low heat until thickened.

Place mixture in refrigerator to get good and cold.

When cake is cooled, beat butter, shortening & sugar.

Add chilled flour paste to this mixture & beat till creamy.

Spread over cake and refrigerate.

Once cake has chilled a bit then you can make the glaze.

Glaze Ingredients:

3 oz. unsweetened chocolate

4 tbsp. butter

1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

3 tbsp. water

Combine glaze ingredients in a pan over low heat.

When melted and mixed well remove from heat and pour over top of cake.

If mixture is too thin then you may add more powdered sugar.

Refrigerate & ENJOY!
