Ding Dong Cake

Submitted by STARTERWIFE

"I made this cake last year for a Christmas party. When I got home, I had 25 pieces of paper asking for the recipe. It is a simple, easy cake to make, but the finished product tastes just like ding dong cakes. If you want a cake that is impressive and want to get raves, this one is it bar-none."

ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix
• 3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)

• 1 1⁄3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)

• 1⁄3 cup evaporated milk
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

directions

1. Bake cake and divide into layers (I used 9x13 pan, but you can do it in rounds and even do 4-6 layers). Bake according to package directions.
2. Mix Crisco, cream, sugar, vanilla and salt well; then add powder sugar and mix all well.
3. Spread filling between layers and frost entire cake with milk chocolate frosting.
4. (Please don’t substitute anything for the milk chocolate frosting--it tastes like candy and the other frostings don’t).
