Simple Cake Filling

D. Rose's Note:

My Grandmother has been using this for years! For those of you who love to bake a quick 2 layer cake, this filling is a must & goes great with fruit too! **NOTE** I recently used this filling for my son's 4th Birthday Cake (Pictured the Krabby Patty Cake in the photos) I used Jello's Brand Banana Cream Pudding and instead of adding 1 tsp of the Vanilla extr. I used 1 tsp of Coconut Extract. I put sliced Strawberries on top of that and it truly was a great tropical type of flavor! I also did the bottom tier with reg. Choco. Pudding and then sliced bananas on that. You can truly use so many types of Flavors. I did like the Banana w.Coconut flavor though! Yum!

I will always use this as a cake filling from on. I just used it plain without any fruit. I put it beween carrot cake layers. It is yummy. Can't wait to put strwberries with it or try different puddings. Thank you for sharing.

So easy and so wonderful! I used vanilla pudding and added rum and diced strawberries. Used it to fill a 3 layer White Almond Sour Cream Wedding Cake and frosted with Kittencal's Bakery Buttercream Frosting/Icing for a bake sale at DH's squadron. It was the first thing gone! Thanks for a new favorite cake filling!

I just made this to fill my son's 1st birthday cake. I used french vanilla pudding and it is AMAZING. I used half and half instead of whole milk, and heavy whipping cream. It was very pretty, like a thick mousse. It really held it's form so I was able to pile it on...I looove a good filling. My family couldn't keep their spoons out of bowl!
